1. First, sign the template using the Notes Administration client with an ID that has run unrestricted methods and operations rights. This step is important for the Notes.ini viewer to access the notes.ini file on either the server or client.

2. Next, create an application using the template. Note: if you want to see the server's notes.ini file, the application needs to be on your server.

3. Adjust the Access Control Lists (ACLs) of the newly created application to limit access to only authorized users.

Once you've completed these steps, open the newly created application and check out your Notes.ini file. That's it!
