Text entry for mail addfess

I found a video on using text entry to change or add an email address without a program update.

 

Can someone point me to that video again?

 

Thank you.

    Are you using a C-more panel?

    Are you wanting to change email address in address book or in a plc?

    CMore-Tagged Email addressesAs @ADC Community_02 (Automationdirect.com)​  queries, we do not know exactly which device you, but if CMore, look at the attached image.

    I did not find the referenced video before I got called away.

    Yes, C-More. I watched a help video but I need to go back and watch it more closely. IDR where I found it.​

    You just need to make the email a tag, not static and then use that tag in a text entry.

     

    You cannot add an email that way though, just change it. There is no native way that I am aware of to create a new email. What I do is create 20 upfront (they're an array in PLC). I do a lot of wrangling in the PLC to determine which users get the emails and what those emails contain, then move their emails into the email address array for HMI and trigger the email event. I do it this way as I already have the user part in PLC for passwords and permissions to avoid using C-More's built in system. You could just as easily do the email part in the HMI itself though, just create 20 addresses and a text entry for each and make sure to select every one of them for every email event. C-More won't have a problem with the extra empty emails when it goes to send the email.

    Create a new e-mail is what I was after.

    Thanks.
