Can Robot/ALERT send text messages to cell phones?
Yes. Use Robot/GUIDE to help you set up a TCP/IP vendor. It works just like sending e-mail to any e-mail address with Robot/ALERT.

I have a job that runs every day. On certain days when the job completes, I want a Robot/SCHEDULE job to react to its completion. Can I create a reactive job and specify which days I want it to run?
If you have a reactive job and days to run specified, Robot/SCHEDULE looks for both conditions before it runs the reactive job. Therefore, if the prerequisite job completes and it is a day the reactive job is scheduled to run, Robot/SCHEDULE runs it.

If the prerequisite job does not run, the reactive job will not run. If the reactive job has a day and time specified, and the prerequisite job has not run, you get a W (warning) status on the reactive job indicating that, “Not all prerequisites have been met.”

How do I make a script run when I open a SEQUEL dashboard?
There are two ways to make a script run in a SEQUEL dashboard: automatically, or by pressing a button. Either way, you must add an Action Button to your dashboard.

1. Create a new dashboard or open an existing dashboard in design mode.

2. Select Insert > Action Button from the menu.

3. In the Action Button dialog, press the SEQUEL Object button and navigate to your script.

4. To make the script run when the dashboard is opened, check the “Autorun” box. (If this box is not checked, you must press the Action Button to run the script.)
