Format & Send

[Aaron]

We are exploring how we can use memento to inventory items being services at a client's location. However, we have to send copies of our inventory to a client. The old fashion method was to leave yellow carbon copies of our handwritten inventories. 

Possible solutions that I am not sure will work:

• Create a file with all the entries and email to client: Custom formatting needed. The form has to have some sort of easy to read format and a pleasing look in accordance with our other company forms.
  
  
• (better option) Send all data to a script which will handle the heavy load via http request through an action. I read that memento supports POST method to send data. I have not seen any examples, so this is where I need some help if anyone has any readily available snippets or code. 
  

Thanks in advance

as of version 1.4.5 - no documentation though.

Scripts: Added method post() in object Http to send POST (HTTP) requests.

Such documentation as there is is user contributed. See the wiki in general (wiki.MementoDatabase.com) and in particular, the following wiki pages:

Actions

Triggers

Trigger Examples

Memento JavaScript Library

The last two have specific sections on HTTP, as well as SMTP and others.

I haven't personally explored these parts of the package.

What also occurs to me is that formatting the report itself could involve export or sync to spreadsheet OR use of the JasperSoft report writing capability. I see you're using the desktop edition that the report writer runs on.
