  • 1.  CHECHBOX VS BUTTON

    Posted 12-15-2020 14:57
    I a previous email, I asked for support for using the checkbox feature for triggering email notifications.  I wanted the checkbox to automatically uncheck itself after the email was issued.  I was informed that the Automation feature could accomplish that feature.  I had unsuccessfully tried to program the Automation feature to do what I wanted it to do.

    It was then suggested to me to try a button field (vs a checkbox) to auto issue an email notification.  Is there such a feature in QB as a trigger button?  If so, please give me specific instructions on how to trigger the auto emails, either via the button or checkbox.

    I thank you in advance.

    Blake,

    On the thread you linked, the button look is 'Tall Vibrant Success'.

    I know there is Vibrant Snowy, Vibrant Success etc (I think there are 4?). I noticed this adds tall....do you have a reference for all these options and what they will look like?

    Thanks for pointing that out. 'Tall' is actually an older button class that is slightly larger than the standard 'Vibrant' class. I'm going to guess (though I don't know for sure) that this will eventually be phased out as more UI updates are made.
