Hello I got this problem:

I have a grid containing some filtered customer records. Now I make a button called Email. I would like to click on this button and then choose an email tempalte, and finally click Send to send email to each customer listed in the grid.

could you tell me

  1. how to capture all the results?
  2. Do I need to Link to a new application in order to allow a user to choose a template?
  3. HOw do I pass all the search records to this "template-choosen’ application?

thanks

Re: How to capture all data in a grid

how to capture all the results?

I have been asking NetMake to provide a checkbox column for exactly this reason. Please make a request to sales and support for this.

Do I need to Link to a new application in order to allow a user to choose a template?

If you create a HTML image field and then create multiple links to different forms, selecting the link would load that template.
I think you can also create a ‘capture link’ from the grid, but I am not positive on this.

You are still faced with the problem of only the selected item, not all displayed.

HOw do I pass all the search records to this "template-choosen’ application?

A checkbox column would really help. My only thought is to send the grid filter to the template and re-select the records using the sent
filter. It ain’t easy being cheesy!
