Re: [EP-tech] Workflows involving other users

Hi Stefan,

If you want to be able to send notifications the certain users, one
option would be to add additional EPrint actions (E.g. "Email
Candidate", "Email Supervisor(s)", etc.) that appear in the Actions tab
of the EPrint View.  These could be used by the research office to send
notifications to students, supervisors, etc. by working out their email
addresses from the metadata they has input for the candidate,
supervisor, etc.  A pre-defined email template could be used, so as
soon as you click the button an email goes out to the user will all the
information they need so they can fill in their information for the
EPrint record.

Regards

David Newman
