Approve Vendor Portal Company General Change - Workflow Event Handler

Use this event handler to notify an CloudSuite Industrial vendor service representative when a Vendor Portal user requests a change to the general information section on the Company Profile page. The message prompts for a Yes/No response to approve the change. If the response is Yes, the event handler makes the change to the CloudSuite Industrial database and sends an approval notification to the portal user. If the response is No, the event handler does not make the change and sends a rejection notification to the portal user.

The prompt notification is sent to the CloudSuite Industrial Inbox form and is optionally also e-mailed to the CloudSuite Industrial vendor service representative. The approval/rejection notification is sent to the portal user's Inbox page on the portal and is also optionally e-mailed to the portal user.

Associated Events, Event Handlers and IDOs

This event handler uses the Retrieve Modified Property and Label event handler and its associated CreatePropertyLabelOnPortalChange event to handle property and label retrieval for the modified properties on the IDO (that is, to update the information in the database).

The Approve Vendor Portal Company General Change event handler on the IdoOnItemUpdate event includes a sequence of actions that conditionally fire based on the properties to be modified. These properties are then inserted into the body of the prompt and notification messages.

The event IdoOnItemUpdate for the SLVendorPortalCompanyProfile IDO triggers this notification.
