New option: How to apply this setting in Lotus Domino 8 Policies
Domino 8 introduces a new How to apply this setting option, which is available for all desktop,mail, productivity tools, and activities policy settings. This standardizes the method that administrators can use to set and lock down policy settings. It replaces various controlmethods introduced in earlier Domino versions, such as the “Allow user to change settings on this tab” and “Apply this setting” (Don’t change, Always, Initially) options introduced in Domino 7. The new How to apply this setting option is a per-field setting. Possible value for this setting are:
Don’t set value.
Allow users to set their own value for the preference.
Set initial value.
Set an initial value for the preference, but then allow users to change and keep any newvalue they choose.
Set value whenever modified.
Set an initial value, allow users to change it, but then change the value back to the initialvalue whenever the user re-authenticates (usually after Notes client restart).
Set value and prevent changes.
Set a value and do not allow it to be changed by the user.
Don’t set value.
Allow users to set their own value for the preference.
Set initial value.
Set an initial value for the preference, but then allow users to change and keep any newvalue they choose.
Set value whenever modified.
Set an initial value, allow users to change it, but then change the value back to the initialvalue whenever the user re-authenticates (usually after Notes client restart).
Set value and prevent changes.
