Use the Notification Types window to configure messages that are sent when a certain action occurs. You can also configure General messages that are sent at a certain time, which can be configured in the Notifications window. The different types of notifications vary depending on the needs of your agency. Two typical types are described below:
- Material Transfer: This generates a message when a material transfer occurs. For example, when a request for stock transfer is made and when the stock to be transferred is sent from the warehouse that had the stock originally.
- Work Request: This sends a message to the user who will be doing the work described in the work request when the work request is inserted or the assigned owner is changed.
Columns
The following columns are found in this window:
- Groovy Script: This column contains the name of the Groovy script that determines when the message will be sent and also what the message will contain. The Groovy script is selected from a drop-down list, the contents of which are all Groovy scripts of the AfterChange Notification Trigger type.
- Group Column: This column shows the group of users to whom the message will be sent. You may modify the message's recipients by using the Edit Grouping command, which is found on the shortcut menu that is displayed by right-clicking the record.
Notification Name: This column shows the label for the notification type.
Note: The General type is by default always present. However, it has no function in this window and so the fields for this type are left empty. It is only used in the Notifications window.Table Name: This columns shows the name of the table in which a data change will cause the message to be sent (based upon the criteria in the Groovy script).
Right-click Shortcut Menu Commands
When you right-click a record, the system displays a shortcut menu. This menu contains the common commands along with the following commands:
- Create/Edit Script: This command is only available when the Groovy Script field is active. When enabled, this command displays the Groovy Script dialog box. See Groovy Script Dialog Box for more information.
- Edit Grouping: When you select this command, the system displays a dialog box showing the users who are part of the group. You may then edit who belongs to the group and save the new data.
