Status actions

Status actions

Action types

Codeunit

This action triggers the execution of a special codeunit: Codeunit/Statusaction.

Except for timed actions you would implement this inside a Codeunit/Formevents.

Export

The template is optional: If no template is found raw XML will be generated.

The following types of routing are supported for template based exports

• Local file system (optionally a mapped share)
• Remote FTP server
• Sent by email

The target reference may contain field references in the {FIELD} format, that will be populated at runtime.

Routing	Syntax example
File system	c:\exportFolder\{GROUP}\{TITLE}.docx
FTP server	ftp://username:password@acme.com/exportFolder
Send by mail	mailto:boss@acme.com:Attention

Please note that

• Export actions are handled in seperate threads (performance)
• There is no guarantee the operation succeds (tjeck the event log)

Shift status

A status merely changes the status to a new value.

This type of action only makes sense to use in timed actions.
