Alert on data events

I’d like to have a kind of “Intelligent Agent” triggerd by special events based on a database. Could someone advise me if it is possible to do check on a data summary value (lets say profit margin last week) and send an email if this value gets a certain value (is smaller that a treshold value).

Any advise is welcomed.

Hans:

This is a fairly standard example of what Document Agent can do with a custom script. You would:

a) write a report that returns profit margin b) create a test on the document agent screen that checks that variable c) create a custom script that on success sends an email

On the www.busobj.com web site there are supposed to be several examples of custom scripting with Document Agent, one of which should give you some ideas to start with.
