IDEA integration with Ms.Outlook

William Yong

Forums

Hi there,
I would like to know whether IDEA could integrate with Ms.Outlook, example like, let say after I finish off my analysis and come out with the result, I could actually import it to the file that I wish to and finally integrate with my Outlook and send to my boss / team member for review.
I'm currently on v.9. Could it be happening via some script or have to wait for v.10?
Best regards, William.

Thanks Brian,
Some question. What is the "outlook-Sheet1.IMD" refer to? Is it refer to the list of my department's email address? Or refer to my IDEA file that I wish to sent to? And where do I input the outlook mail script inside my existing script for the integration? Before or after the menu() function? Any workable sample script that could share here.
Thanks. William

Hi William,

The "outlook-Sheet1.IMD" is actually the table that you see in the link, so it contains the email addresses and some information that you want to insert into the email.

So in your case you want to send attachements using the script?

The email can be a simple function within your script so you can place it anywhere and just call it when needed.  I don't have any samples except for what I posted as I developed this during an IDEAScripting course as the clients were interested in doing something like this.

So to use the script you will need to know the email address and what you want to send to them, then the function can be modified accordingly.

Thanks

Brian
