BAM buttion: Include Link

Amy,

You can customize your own messages by using a .p program. Create
a .p program in your mfgsys80\server\ud directory, and point to that
under the "Alert Program" (reference "ud\Program.p" in that field).

We use the following program when fields have changed on the part
master to kick off an email showing old/new data.

Hope this helps.
Kevin

******* START OF PROGRAM ********
{ud/GlbAlert.i &TableName = "Part"}
DEFINE VARIABLE Email1 AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE Email2 AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE Email3 AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE Email4 AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.

/* Create the new body of the email */

ASSIGN Email-Subject = 'Vantage Part Change: Weight/Factor'.
Email1 = "Part " + String(Part.PartNum) + " (" + Part.SearchWord
+ ") has changed." .
IF OLDPart.NetWeight = Part.NetWeight THEN DO:
Email2 = "~n~tNet weight has not changed: " + STRING
(Part.NetWeight).
END.
ELSE DO:
Email2 = "~n~tNet weight has changed from " + STRING
(OLDPart.NetWeight) + " to " + STRING(Part.NetWeight).
END.
IF OLDPart.SalesUM = Part.SalesUM THEN DO:
Email3 = "~n~tSales U/M has not changed: " + STRING
(Part.SalesUM).
END.
ELSE DO:
Email3 = "~n~tSales U/M has changed from " + STRING
(OLDPart.SalesUM) + " to " + STRING(Part.SalesUM).
END.
IF OLDPart.SellingFactor = Part.SellingFactor THEN DO:
Email4 = "~n~tSelling Factor has not changed: " + STRING
(Part.SellingFactor).
END.
ELSE DO:
Email4 = "~n~tSelling Factor has changed from " + STRING
(OLDPart.SellingFactor) + " to " + STRING(Part.SellingFactor).
END.
Email-Text = Email1 + Email2 + Email3 + Email4.

Hi,

I created a BAM to note changes to certain fields within parts. The
global alert works, an email goes out. But the text of the email
included ONLY the changes that were made, NOT the part on which the
changes were made. I thought I could fix this by checking the Include
Link box, but no link goes out in the email. Am I missing
something?? The help file says this about that box:

Include Link
When selected, this check box causes a hyperlink to be created inside
the alert message. When users click on this link, the record that
caused the alert automatically appears within its appropriate entry
program.

So should I not be getting a link? I'm new to the BAM thing, so maybe
I'm missing something. Anyone tried this?

Amy
We have ran into the same issue - it's logged as a bug, to be fixed
sometime in the future.

Curses. It seemed like such a simple solution what with the box
there and all. The guy I talked to at Epicor, though, didn't seem
to be able to tell me that this was a known issue.

Thanks.

I set up a BAM to alert when OrderHed\Requestdate is changed,
and set the Include link flag. An alert is emailed, but the
link is not in the E-mail

I was having the same trouble and support told me I would have to
write a .P program to include information about WHICH part was
changed. They sent we a lengthy process for creating the program
and using it within the alert but I haven't had time to try it.

Writing the alert .p programs has been discussed at length on this list.
It's been a pet project of mine.
Once you know the procedure, and a little about the Progress language, it
becomes a breeze.
Just so you are aware, not only can you include the Part number affected
with a .p, but you could choose to export an excel log of changes, or print
labels...the list is nearly endless of what you can trigger the system to do
when a change is made in the system.
This group (myself included) will be very helpful in the process, but I
would caution you not to share anything Support has given you directly.
Epicor seems to be a bit touchy on that concept, though they are generally
willing to share it with others that choose to call.
Good luck,
