Description

In the classic Notes workspace, the client shows every database as an icon. If the same database exists in several replicas (e.g. locally and on a server), the workspace can show the icons either individually or stacked. StackedIcons=1 turns stacking on – this keeps the workspace tidier and automatically picks the “best” replica (online / offline). The setting can also be maintained via the Notes Client Preferences (“File → Preferences → Workspace”) – the GUI is the recommended place to manage it.

Example configuration

StackedIcons=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Pure client setting – not centrally distributed via policy, except through Desktop / Setup policy.
  • Takes effect after a workspace refresh or a Notes restart.
  • Applies only to the classic Notes workspace, not to HCL Nomad.
  • For training, it can make sense to disable it (0) to visualize the replication concept.
