Hi, my name is Randy Rempel, and I'm a senior product manager with Dell Software. This is the first of a multi-part video series on how to migrate a Notes application to SharePoint. The SharePoint application we'll use an in-text form and workflow. I'll start with a review of the Notes application and user mapping.
As you can see, I already created some documents in this Notes application. This leave request form has fields for Leave Type, Start Date, End Date, Description, Status, Requester, On Behalf of, Manager, and Attachments. The Description field allows me to add rich text content like the embedded image displayed. The Status field can have four values-- New, Submitted, Approved, or Rejected. A submitted request can be approved or rejected. The review approval process is part of the form itself. The custom code for the process is in the action buttons.
I want to continue using the same user names with the review and approval process. Thus, I need to ensure that the Lotus Notes usernames map to SharePoint. In this example, I created a user mapping file that lists the user accounts in Lotus Notes and maps them to the corresponding user accounts in Active Directory. I configure user mapping in the MNSP tool here. Here you can see that I've set the input translation. I map Notes names to site collection users based on this text file lookup, and the path to the file is defined here. I'll run a test with the user mapping.
I can see that the lookup returns Dell Software JTester. I can validate this account in SharePoint. The validation test returns the login and display results for JTester. I'm confident that the user mapping is configured correctly. That's it for this video. I've reviewed the Notes application that I plan to migrate. I also reviewed how I configured user mapping.
