Quick question as I am new to Contour. I tried to add to the open workflow "send an email" workflowtype; however this seems to never get fired. I have also tried adding a custom workflowtype to the RecordOpened workflow in order to output some text on the screen, however again nothing happens. The RecordSubmitted event seem to be working fine. Does the RecordOpened event not fire every time the form is loaded?
Any help is appreciated as I am still figuring out Contour.
I should be triggered when a form is viewed the first time, so in the first step and in theory, yes, that would mean each time it is viewed. Maybe it sets a cookie to remember it has already been opened once in that browser, so the event doesn't get fired any more? Check it out in a different browser or delete your cookies.
Thanks for the quick reply. I have cleared my cookies however I still am not able to get the RecordOpened event to fire. I guess I could create a macro and place it on the page with the form in order to fire the event every time the page is loaded. Is there a way to get the current record that the form is editing from another usercontrol so I can manually fire the event?
I think I realized what was going on. It seems like there is an error on every WorkFlowType associated with the openrecord event. I could not see this but when I viewed it in the preview it showed the error. I'm guessing this is because at load time there is not a record created. I'm still trying to figure out how the openrecord event is used and what it is used for.
How often does the RecordOpened event fire?
