Prior Alert

ALERT! has been designed to prompt a Message Box to appear in GoldMine with a given statement, this is typically used within telemarketing or sales departments where an invalid product, suspect information is found, or perhaps for a simple prompt for further services potential.

The ALERT! program has two parameters the first being the message to display, and the second being the type of dialog box to display.

The message should be encapsulated in quotes e.g. "This is my message"

The type of dialog boxes available are:

Value - Meaning

16 - Display Stop icon
32 - Display Question Mark icon
48 - Display Exclamation Mark icon
64 - Display Information icon

When launching the application the command line will look like:

C:\Program Files\GoldMine\PRIORALERT.EXE "Do you require Prior Assistant?" 32

To use the program inconjunction with the LOOKUP.INI simply enter the information RUN= with RUNFLAGS= statements:

Example 1

[AutoUpdate]
UOFFICES=UOFFICES

[UOFFICES]
;does the client have multiple offices
Lookup1=IIF(CONTACT2->UOFFICES>1,"True","False")
;If true then just update it with itself
True=&Contact2->UOffices

;run if True
RunFlags=3
Run=C:\program files\goldmine\PRIORALERT.EXE "They will need GoldSync" 64

Example 2

[AutoUpdate]
UDATABASE=UDATABASE

[UDATABASE]
Lookup1=CONTACT2->UDATABASE
MS SQL 7=MS SQL 7
Sybase 11.5=Sybase 11.5
Oracle 8=Oracle 8
RunFlags=3
Run=C:\program files\goldmine\PRIORALERT.EXE "This databases are in pre-release for GoldMine Enterprise" 16

Break down of the RUN= and RUNFLAGS= statement for LOOKUP.INI:

RUN=C:\APPS\ANYAPP.EXE
RUNFLAGS=<number>

Where <number> is

1 Run only when the fields lookup value is found
2 When the field is updated via [AutoUpdate]
4 When the field is updateed via Automated Processes
X Any combination can be made e.g. 1+2 = 3 to run when the values is found and launched from [AutoUpdte]

Further information on how to create a LOOKUP.INI can be found in the GoldMine help files.
