Understanding the desktop policy settings document
Use a desktop policy settings document to control the user's workspace. Desktop settings are enforced the first time a user logs in to iNotes® and runs setup. After the initial setup, you can use them to update the user's desktop settings. Users receive updates to the settings when any of the policy settings change, and then the desktop policy settings are enforced the next time users authenticate with their home server.

Access the Domino® desktop policy settings document using a Domino Administrator client. The document controls a host of Notes® client option availability; its fields are documented in the related topic on creating a desktop policy settings document.

Note: All of the settings available in the setup policy settings document are also included in the desktop policy settings document. You can now use just one document -- the desktop policy settings document -- to establish the desktop policy settings as well as many of the setup policy settings. When you use the desktop policy setting document to establish a setting to be applied at setup, choose the accompanying option Set Initial Value. If you have setup policy settings documents that you created with early releases of Domino, you should use the updated desktop policy settings document to define both your desktop policy settings and your setup policy settings.

Note: For information about which desktop policy settings are supported byIBM® iNotes, see the IBM iNotes administrator product documentation.
