Him,


 can someone explain what the repercussions would be if we used in setup of


"select a list field to determine how many slots should be created"  Smart Object "Model ID"  or " Model Name".


How would that affect setting up variables that should be used to display information in the emails or retreiving the information  and setting up the metadat from the SP list?


 


 Thanks,


 

have a look at the following whitepaper.

Hi Nazima,


To explain this better let us consider a list with the following structure and items:



Model IDModel Name
1Model1
2Model2
3Model3


If you drag in the "Model ID" column into this field the InstanceData of the Activity Destination will be the ID of the model, in other words 1,2,3. If you select the "Model Name" column the InstanceData field will be set to "Model1","Model2","Model3".


It depends what you need to do in your Email event, but I think the ID column will be better for most purposes. You can then take the InstaceData property and use the value in it as an input parameter to call a SmartObject Load method. Load methods normally take the ID property as input so by passing in the ID value you should get unique data in your Email event for the current instance.


I hope this made sense. Let me know if something was unclear.
