Pop-up alerts

[mdbusse]

I'm creating some custom fields for the implementation of Sugar I'm working on. That's easily enough done-workflow is a bit trickier. (I'm on Sugar 5.2.0a.)

I'm trying to set things up so that if someone puts things in a certain custom status, they get a warning to make sure that they have set certain other free text fields (the Subject line of a case, in this instance) in ways we want them set when the case is in that status.

That's easy enough to do with workflow, but the folks I'm working with would prefer a pop-up window come up instead of an email alert. I'm fairly certain that is not something which can be done by default, and would require custom coding. Am I right in that?

Yes, that would require some custom code, as there isn't a built-in mechanism for it. A potential feature you might consider using is the scheduling of an activity as doing so allows one to define an alarm time which manifests itself as an alert at the given time.

So, what I'd want to do would be to have a workflow trigger the scheduling of, say, a call (or a custom module with similar functionality, or a slightly modified task module), and just set a reminder time so it triggers shortly after save?

That sounds about right.

[mdbusse]

That sounds like it might work for my purposes. Thanks.
