CodebookTo find variable names, form names and raw values used to construct the logic for the alert trigger or to include data in the notification message. | |
PipingTo include already collected data into the notification message. | |
Smart VariablesCan be included in the alert trigger syntax or as a source for piping values into a message. For example, the Smart Variable [record-dag-name] corresponds to the unique group name of Data Access Group to which the current record belongs, and could be used in the alert trigger syntax to send a notification to a user based, in part, on the record's DAG assignment. The Smart Variable, [form-link:instrument:Custom Text], could be used to include an HTML web link in the notification, so the user could navigate to the specified data entry form for the current record/event/instance. | |
