Default Function Provider

The DataSplice default function provider plug-in exports several useful .NET functions that can be used for common tasks in DataSplice installations, such as enabling emails to be sent based on specific events. The default function provider is included in the installation of the DataSplice software, so it does not require a separate installation.

General Plug-in Information

The Plug-in Details screen shows details about the DataSplice barcode printing plug-in. It also displays the features provided by the plug-in.

Configuring the Default Function Provider for Email Actions

One of the capabilities that the default function provider enables is the ability to initiate emails based on certain events. For email actions to be created, the email server must be identified. In addition, if an email template file is being used, the path must be specified. Lastly, the function is called from the desired event chain in the view.

  1. Expand the Server Plug-ins section by clicking the plus sign.
  2. Select Default Function Provider from the list of available plug-ins.

  3. In the Configuration Section drop-down list, select Edit Options.

    Plug-in Options

  4. In the Basic Options section, complete the fields appropriately:

    Option Name Option Value
    Email Template Path The path, relative to the DataSplice installation directory, that contains the email template files. This is only relevant if email template files are being used. It is possible to compose the emails directly within the function call in the event chain settings in the view, thereby negating the need for email template files.

  5. In the Email Server section, click the Add Configuration Section button Add Configuration Section Button and complete the fields appropriately:

    Field Name Explanation
    Server Name Name used to identify this email server. This is the name that is later used within the event chain settings to reference this email server.
    Server Type The type of protocol used by this email server. Available options are SMTP or Exchange.
    Server Address The address of the email server on the network, such as mail.companyname.com or smtp.companyname.com.
    User Name A valid user name that can access this email server.
    Password The password corresponding to the given user name.

  6. Click the Save Changes button Save Changes Button to save the settings.

After the default function provider is configured for an email server as specified above, email functions can be called from within the call plug-in function actions in the event chain settings section of the view. For complete details, please refer to the email actions section.
