Several years ago, they would then send a "whiteboard" page which went to key support and management types to inform them of the issues. This seems to have disappeared over time. Problem now is that you can only see it if you go to the help desk area. This would be an electronic version of that that could be seen throughout the company even in regional offices. I guess others would refer to this as Alerts, Warnings, issues ... Your naming scheme below does give an idea of having regional entries though. > > 2) Though there are several ways to index information to generate > reports (spec: data and info vars) the fastest and easiest is actually > in the page name.

Most I've ever seen active was perhaps 8-10 during Hurricane Katrina where we had groups of stores were out in multiple states for various reasons (In some cases like no longer physically there). Kind of unusual to have more than 1 or 2 at a time normally though. The closed entries would be informative as to what happened. Typically are reporting an application down, network issue somewhere out in one of the regions or perhaps a group of stores down, ATM's whatever. If I use naming which open or closed is in the name, I assume I can rename the page some how? BOLTXrename($value, $field, 'copy'); ... yep. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
