Lotus Notes Profile Document

What is Profile Document?

Profile documents, new in the 4.5 release, are a useful tool for storing and retrieving user-specific or database-specific values that you need to access quickly. You can use Profile documents for quick data retrieval, because they are cached while the database that stores them is open. Profile documents are like other database documents except they are somewhat invisible -- they do not display in views and are not included in a document count for the database. Additionally, a user does not create a profile document from the Create menu; you provide an action or agent that uses LotusScript or the command language to create the profile document and make it available for editing.
