Event Action Prompt

Note: You can access this form only from the Event Actions form.

Use this form to construct an event action that sends a prompt to one or more system users. This prompt is transmitted internally within the application. To view and respond to the message, the recipient uses the Inbox form.

If the recipient is set up in the Users form to allow the system to "send external prompts," then a prompt action sends the message both to the Inbox form and to the recipient's inbox in an external email system such as Microsoft Outlook. The user can click a link in the email to send a response back to this application.

Use this form when you want an action to send a message that requires a response from the recipients. If the action does not require a response from the recipients, use the Notify action type instead.

With the Prompt action type, the Question field (parameter) is used to ask a direct question that is to be answered using the Choices (voting) buttons. Recipients then use the Choices buttons to indicate their decisions and return their responses to the system for further action.
