Description
Broadcast Form is an all-variable-parameter combination of four Broadcast blocks:
|
Get ASCII Form by Variable |
|
|
Get WYSYWIG Form by Variable |
|
|
Send ASCII Form by Variable. |
|
|
Send WYSYWIG Form by Variable |
Based entirely upon the values of RCO Variables, Broadcast Form will broadcast either a WYSIWYG or ASCII form by Item ID, rather than by location.
This block provides maximum flexibility of use.
