Currently, Notes allows up to nine windows to be open simultaneously. A cross-database search function needs to be implemented. A more coherent access and security model needs to be developed. A method of showing who had access to a Notes document needs to be developed possibly using a watermark. The idea that people use a model in an attempt to understand how a program will work for them is intuitively appealing but there is little formal research to support this as fact.
More research needs to be done on task models.
The results of this research can aid both the design and the analysis of user interfaces. The analysis of the Web and Lotus Notes seems to show that users have different models of navigation depending on which program they are running but that they also have similar models of bookmarks.
