Projects notification

Faur Arama Mar 23, 2010 4:37 AM

I wonder that there is an easy way to receive a notification when a new project is created. I do some research about

sql and such notification but because I' not sql expert it seems too complicated for me.

Any help please.

What if the new project file goes into a workflow state that has an automatic transition coming out of it that contains the notification?

  Good idea. If a template is used to create the project, you could creat a dummy document at the same time and use the document to trigger a dispatch action to send the notification, then use dispatch to delete the dummy document.

    Thanks Joy
    I think that the dummy document is a good idea.
    Once again thank you.

    Hello Joy
    
    First of all I must mention that we use PDMWE 2008 sp 5.0
    I try your solution but there are some limitation. I can't retrive, by a dispatch acction, the name of new folder (project) so I can't delete the new created file. Also in the message I can not insert user variables.
    Now I receive a message and I must find the new project by date.

      Hi Faur -
      
      Hmmm...unfortunately your only option is to write an add-in using the API.
      
      Sorry,
      Joy
