SharePoint Alert Reminder Boost provides additional features beyond the default "Alert Me" function of SharePoint 2007. These features include:
1.It can send alert emails and reminder emails to appointed people. Change types, including all-changes/addition/modification/deletion of alert emails, and scheduled time of reminder emails can be configured by list owner.
2.In addition to sending emails to specific users/groups, it can also send alert emails and reminder emails to ITEM-RELATED users/groups, including users/groups represented by "Created By", "Modified By" etc. inner columns and other kind of users/groups columns. Furthermore, send-to targets can be in the form of email addresses or columns which represent email address.
3.It can customize email contents.
1)Besides containing item information in email body, which is an out-of-box function of "Alert Me", Alert Reminder Boost marks the modified details in email contents with STRIKETHOUGH where detail is deleted, and HIGHLIGHT where content is added, so as to provide an easy way to show the point of email.
2)Input email content with html-formatted text/image other than item information. The inputted email content can use columns as placeholders which will be displayed as item content of this column to recipient.
3)Item attachments can be added as alert email's attachments
4)Email subject can also be customized with your own text and column placeholders.
4.Users can self-define sending conditions. For instance, if you want to send emails when task is changed but not to send it when task is in a "Not Started" status, you can input expression as [Status] != "Not Started", in which [Status] means the "Status" column of the "Task" list and "Not Started" represents text values. List columns, inner operators and functions can be used in condition expressions. |
