Scenario Overview

In this scenario the business requirement is that we need the ability to trigger a Dialog whenever need on a form. 

To do this, we will set up a Quick Button that triggers this Dialog whenever the field  Send Marketing Materials is set to Send. 

North52 Decision Suite Solution

The North52 Decision Suite solution works like this,

  • The formula executes on the execution of a Quick Button
  • It checks to see if a field called Send Marketing Materials is set to 'Send''
  • If so the formula triggers the Dialog SendMarketing. 

N52 Quick Button 

Please follow the instructions to create a Quick Button here, using the Shortcode of the formula you made above.
