Updating E-Mail Address

How can I get the system to prompt users if the client's E-Mail address has never been filled in?

The Protocols module can be used for this. One of the sample scripts provided is pvsmail.pro.

One of the features of protocols is the ability to access them at various parts of the system. With E-Mail, Mobile Phone updates etc. we really want to check when the management card is displayed. While the full details are covered in the manual the following will work.

The Automatic protocol to call is pva006.

We first need to tell the system to check for this so a params.txt entry is required. If you will only ever want to check for auto protocol 6 then the entry will be: 

Call_Protocol = 6

However, as you may want to use this in other places, we suggest you just add the wildcard option and you can forget about params.txt from now on - use: 

Call_Protocol = *

Params.txt entries can be changed via :

Premvet Menu -> General Apps -> Parameters -> Text Files -> Params.txt (Old Style menu)
Premvet Menu -> System -> Setup -> Parameters -> Text Files -> Params.txt (New Style menu)

Once you have set call_Protocol you don't need to change it if you are wanting to change the protocol called when Management card accessed.

Next do the following:

The screen may be a little messy but you are back to where you left off, log in/out and when you access a card that has no mail address you will be prompted to add it.

After a while you may want to switch and set/check the client's mobile number.
