How to display message when users opens an updated document?
I would like to display a message to users when they open a new updated version of document, showing release notes. Subsequent document views would not show release notes until a new version is published.
Well, maybe I didn't quite get what you need but I'll give it a try
1) you need to automatically show user some sample notes when he opens updated document for the first time.
You need to create a variable for this user, which will be for example '0' when document is reloading (you can do it in script), then on opening page (you can specify it in triggers) there should create an text box with message you need which will have layout 'if var = 0'. This text box should have a button with action - change var to var = 1. Thats it, next time user won't get to see text box until the document will be reloaded. You can add any information you need in this text box: reload time, current date\time, etc.
2) your developers somewhere write down notes about release before reloading it and you want user to see them, each time new one.
You can do the same think but also you need to create one more variable which will look in specified place (txt, excel, etc.), take its info in itself and then use it when you reload your data. You can have different files with info, for example have iterate number in files name or date when created.
Thanks for your reply. I have hundreds of users, so creating a variable for each user would not be feasible. Also, if the user closes the application aren't the new variables values be lost? In case of a users clicking on a button to set the visibility flag to "false", this value is not saved anywhere and will be reverted to the default next time the document is opened, won't it?
