HCL Domino Designer Basic User Guide and Reference
This guide provides information on using HCL Domino Designer and programming language reference information.
Programming Overview and User Interface
This section contains general guidelines and examples that show where to use Java, LotusScript, and the formula language.
Programming Overview
This documentation describes how to attach Java, JavaScript, LotusScript, and formula code to Domino design elements. Here are some overview topics:
Window title, section access, and insert subform formulas
Window title formulas
A window title formula generates the text that appears in the title bar of documents using the form. The formula must evaluate to a text or numeric value, except that a single field of any type is permissible.
Examples: Window title formulas

Examples: Window title formulas

This formula displays the static text "Focus Group Discussion" in the title bar.
```
"Focus Group Discussion"
```
This formula displays the static text "New Topic" for a new document. For an existing document, the formula displays the contents of the Subject field followed by text indicating the number of response documents associated with this document.
```
@If(@IsNewDoc; "New Topic"; Subject +
@DocDescendants(" (No Responses)"; "(1 Response)"; "(% Responses)"))
```

This formula displays a window title suited to a Response or a Response to Response document.

@If(@IsNewDoc; "New Response to " + Subject;
"Response " + @DocNumber("") + " of " + @DocSiblings + " to " + Subject)

This formula, which evaluates to a time-date value, is legal.
```
@Created
```
In this formula, the time-date field must be explicitly converted to text because it is part of an expression.
```
"Response created on " + @Text(@Created)
```
