Protocol Tag

Updating Records and only running if ..

There may be occasions where you only want the script to run if a certain criteria is met.

You can automatically run a script from various parts of the system and this is a cool way of updating card only is details are missing.

Currently the list of 'actions' are:

MAILOK	If client has a valid e-mail address
INSUOK	If client has valid Insurance details
MOBILEOK	If client has a valid mobile telephone number
TRANSACTION OK	If a transaction is current

If the above are used and the criteria met the script will silently exit.

The [GOTO tag can also be used to control this by looking at some of the reserved words.

MAILOK
If E-Mail is set to Yes, YDU or NCC then no action will be taken the script will exit. If E-Mail flag is set to No then the protocol will continue.
This can be used to run a script only if there is no valid mail address.
There are Setv option to set/edit the E-Mail address. They could be used like:
```
[]!E-Mail { 
    Exit [abort]
    Confirm Mail OK  [setv okmail]
    Remove Mail Address [setv noemail] 
    Add/Edit Mail Address [line //&email//], [setv email]
    }
```
Note: The //&email// sets the default for the question.
This is shown in example Setting E-Mail Details.
INSUOK
If there is a valid Insurance company will exit otherwise continue. This is shown in example Setting Insurance Details.
An entry of 'NO' will be taken as not being insured.
MOBILEOK
If there is 'something' in the mobile telephone number field exit
This is shown in example Setting Mobile Details.
TRANSACTION OK
If there is 'valid transaction. This option is explained in more detail under the transaction tag section.

Note: When mailok, insuok and mobileok are used - normally if the protocol is called automatically or via AP they will cause the script to exit if set - they will NOT exit if called via the pr'O'tocol menu option.

See also HEADUP to stop the screen being cleared when not needed.

GROUP XXX

The [group xxx ] is used to limit the report to only running if the user is a member of group. It can handle multiple groups by [group xx || yy || zz ] etc. As there can be up to 9 groups it has been simplified by using the ! symbol for NOT. You can limit to everyone except vets by [group ! vet].
