#GPPT Tracking changes to Customer and Vendor Cards Version 4

This is another update to the previous versions of the change tracking projects for Customer and Vendor cards:

• #GPPT Tracking changes to Customer and Vendor Cards Version 3

Based on the version 3 projects, this update adds optional emailing of the changes made to a specified address.

The design has not changed since version 3, we have just modified the trigger scripts to add a call to the MBS_Email_API Helper Function.

Below are screenshots of the two projects showing the components. Here is CUST TRACKING project:

And the VEND TRACKING project:

To enable the emailing, make sure you can send an email using the Send Email window. You can change the settings used in the Email Settings window.

Note: If you have issues with SMTP, try using the SMTP via .Net Addin mode rather than the SMTP via CDO mode as it can better handle modern authentication requirements.

Then edit the trigger scripts (1 to 4 for both projects) and insert the desired email address to send the notifications to in the MBS_Email_To field. You can also add MBS_Email_CC and MBS_Emal_BCC addresses, or change subject and body text, if you wish.

Customer Triggers: CUST TRACKING 1 to 4

Vendor Triggers: VEND TRACKING 1 to 4
