Lotus Domino Administrator 7 Help - Notes Client features and their Domino server and template dependencies

UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 7 AND LOTUS DOMINO 7

Notes Client features and their Domino server and template dependencies
Some of the Notes client features have Domino server dependencies, template dependencies, both types of dependencies or no dependencies. Use this table to determine whether a Notes Client 7 feature will work on a pre-Domino 7 server and whether the feature requires the Domino 7 template.

If there is no dependency on the Domino server for a Notes client feature, you can use the Notes 7 Client with an older Domino server such as Domino 6.

If there is a template dependency, you must install the listed template to use the Notes client feature.

* If a server dependency contains Yes with an asterisk (*), the Notes client feature in question may work if PUBNAMES.NTF is on a Domino 7 server that replicates with a Domino 6 server. The Notes client feature may work due to replication.

Domino 7.0 server dependency? If yes, explanation 7.0 template dependency? If yes, template name and explanation
