Notifications: Can you include comments from Metacard data.

Hi All,

My company uses M-Files for all of our document control and whenever a version of a document is changed we write a comment on the metacard data to say what has been changed on the document. So each version number should match the comments number.

We also have notifications set up so whenever a document is added or amended etc. it is emailed out to everyone with a link, who made the change and document ID. This works well, but we have been trying to think of a quicker way of communicating changes as not everyone will open the hyperlink in the email to check what amends have been made.

With that in mind does anyone know if/how we can set it up so that whatever is written in the comments section of the metacard data is sent out in the notification email?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Lea

    If you are using the built-in M-Files comments you would add placeholder %PROPERTY_33% to the template (33 is the ID of the built-in comment property). Note that comments are version-specific so I think the comment will be included in the notification mail only if it is saved together with the document changes (ie. they are both in the same document version). You will have to test how this works in your environment.
