Multiple Emails

[Columbia Awards]

As a new feature in 3.6 you....


Included new validation on the E-Mail Address field to enforce entry of only a single e-mail address. This is required since the field is not designed to support multiple e-mail addresses. If you try to add multiple e-mail addresses to the maintain order, maintain customer or customer contacts, you will receive an error message.

Why? We want our multiple emails!

I agree. Sometimes I need to notify more than one person on a quote, invoice, proof, etc.

Because the field was never intended to support multiple e-mail addresses and putting in multiple e-mail addresses will cause things to crash. So validation was necessary. The field indicated "E-Mail Address" singular, not plural so it was never intended to hold a large recipient list.

There is a request to provide a mechanism for multiple e-mail address OPTION already posted and we will see what can be done to provide a new OPTION for it, however the current as it stands does not work when you put in multiple e-mail addresses anyway, and it can cause certain screens in BizWizard to crash so this was a much needed fix.

Secondly, on an order, you have a SINGLE contact, and the e-mail address field is designed to be THAT contacts e-mail address.

You couldn't do it before anyways. If you put multiple e-mail addresses in, those e-mail messages did not send out correctly. Again, multiple e-mail addresses for a single contact has never been an option and never supported. Even though it allowed you to put in multiple e-mail addresses, it wouldn't actually send to multiple.

You member level depends upon your activity. As you increase your participation in the forums, eventually your level will increase.
