Notes roaming user
As a Notes® roaming user, you can log in to and use Notes from any computer in your organization on which Notes is installed, and use your personal data while doing so. Your personal data includes many of your Notes preferences and personal information such as your contacts, bookmarks, notebook, feeds subscriptions, and optionally your Notes workspace. Notes widgets also participate in roaming.
Advanced Roaming User topics
The following Roaming User topics are for more advanced Notes® users.
Can I toggle between roaming and non-roaming status?
A Notes power user can disable and re-enable roaming user status using a combination of NOTES.INI settings. This enables users working across low band width or otherwise slow Internet connection to temporarily disable their roaming status and more quickly access a target Notes application, view, or document, including their Mail inbox. Roaming user status can also be set to either remain disabled or to be re-enabled at subsequent Notes start-up.

- Getting started as a Notes roaming user
  Your HCL Domino® administrator assigns your roaming user capabilities. The data that your administrator configures to be roaming-enabled replicates or syncs between your roaming server and the Notes® computer that you log into. The roaming server keeps roaming-enabled files and application synchronized for any Notes client on which you log into and work as a roaming user.
- Configuring your environment
  Your administrator can configure you to work as a roaming user, enabling your personal HCL Notes®applications and settings to be roamed between any Notes client on which you work. When you log in to Notes on each computer on which you work, you will be initially prompted to convert to Notes roaming user status.
