Sending Email and Setting Default value

[meduser]

Hello,

1. We are designing a task management system and would like to use the Send Mail event to send an email to the person assigned a task.
   The task table has a link to the employee table (via emp id). We want the email content to include details of the current task and send a cc to the Supervisor
   (reports to field). We could not figure out how to do that from the documentation.

2. Also, how do we assign a default value to a field when the form is first loaded? If we use Auto Update in the field - the field becomes hidden

Thanks
Ron

1. Use Email_Sending server event to add the content. You can use ew_ExecuteScalar() to run your SQL to check the supervisor and modify the cc:

Email.Cc = "<supervisor>";

See Server event and Client script -> Email_Sending (Example) in help file.

1. Add [Default Value] to the field. See Field Setup -> Add Page -> Default Value in help file.

Great - that helped, thanks.

One more question - is there any more documentation besides the help file or example/demo projects?

Thanks
Ron

Per my understanding, the help file is the only documentation.
