I’m extremely happy to announce that version 5.2 of NotesTracker is now available for download, as is the updated NotesTracker Guide which fully describes NotesTracker: its features, why and how you would use NotesTracker, together with planning and technical guidance for managers, administrators and developers.
You can download the evaluation or licensed (purchased) editions of NotesTracker v5.2 from either of two sites:
- http://notestracker.com/UsageTracker_Download.htm or
- http://www.asiapac.com.au/UsageTracker_Download.htm
The NotesTracker Guide is downloadable from the same web page

In this case I’m talking about Notes Reconn which enables you to create reports and Charts from any Lotus Notes database (via an interface to Microsoft Excel). For example, a NotesTracker usage log view like this:
can be quickly charted like this:
or like this:
The chart legend for the chart displays the single-letter NotesTracker “Action Type” values, which are:
