Axton, Thanks for articulating my muddled pile of thoughts. I knew what I wanted, and I kinda knew how to get there, but I didn't know exactly how to say it. You have pointed me in precisely the correct direction. You're the man!
Thanks again, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Axton Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 12:01 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: One notification engine to rule them all? Read up on external qualifications and advanced workflow. You can very easily write a small set of forms workflow to store the notifications to be sent, to whom they are sent, and when they are sent. Think of using a config form that stored the following info: - form (which form the notification fires from) - to (fieldid) - subject (the subject text, can substitute variables) - body (body, can substitute variables) - fire when (external qual to evaluate on modify) One tricky thing will the the include fields if you want to use templates. This could be integrated to any number of forms by walking a table (where $SCHEMA$ = 'form') and firing advanced workflow if the qual is met.
