#GPPT Tracking changes to Item Cards Version 3

This is a further update to the previous version of the change tracking project for Item Cards:

• #GPPT Tracking changes to Item Cards Version 2

Based on the version 2 project, this update adds optional emailing of the changes made to a specified address.

The design has not changed since version 2, we have just modified the trigger scripts to add a call to the MBS_Email_API Helper Function.

Below is a screenshot of the ITEM TRACKING project showing the components:

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 7 for this project) 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.

Item Triggers: ITEM TRACKING 1 to 7

WARNING: If you already have the previous versions installed, please make a note of the Fields included if you have changed the field lists before importing, so you can remake the changes after installing the updated projects.
