Create events and delete events are part of rules that trigger an alert when a record is either created or deleted in the application. The following table explains the options that are available.

Option

When an alert is triggered

Record has been created

A new record has been created in the application.

Record has been deleted

A record has been deleted in the application.

Example: Record has been created

Every time that a new item is added to your company's inventory, you want to enter specific customer data about the item, so that the invoices that are printed for some of your customers use the customers’ own item numbers. You want to be alerted when a new item is created. Therefore, you create a rule that triggers an alert when a record is created in the Released products form.

  1. Click Product information management > Common > Released products.

  2. In the Released products form, right-click any item, and then select Create alert rule.

  3. In the Create alert rule form, follow these steps to create the rule:

    • Under Send email alerts for job status changes, in the Field list, select All fields.

    • Under Send email alerts for job status changes, in the Event list, select Record has been created.

    • Under Alert me for, select All records in %1. An alert is triggered for any item that is created in the Released products form.

    • Under Alert me until, select No end date. Alerts continue to be triggered indefinitely. The rule never becomes inactive.

    • Under Alert me with, verify or adjust the title of the alert. Optionally, you can write a message that is sent when the alert is triggered.

  4. Click OK to activate the rule.

Example: Record has been deleted

You want to make sure that no customers are deleted in the Customers form without your knowledge. Therefore, you create a rule that triggers an alert when a record is deleted in the Customers form.

  1. Click Accounts receivable > Common > Customers > All customers.

  2. Double-click any customer record. In the Customers form, right-click any field, and then select Create alert rule.

  3. In the Create alert rule form, follow these steps to create the rule:

    • Under Send email alerts for job status changes, in the Field list, select All fields.

    • Under Send email alerts for job status changes, in the Event list, select Record has been deleted.

    • Under Alert me for, select All records in %1. An alert is triggered for any record that is deleted.

    • Under Alert me until, select No end date. Alerts continue to be triggered indefinitely. The rule never becomes inactive.

    • Under Alert me with, verify or adjust the title of the alert. Optionally, you can write a message that is sent when the alert is triggered.
