EZNOTES

Add field notes and attachments to JDE Work Orders from email.

EZnotes lets field and operational users send notes, photographs and documents by email so they can be added to existing J.D. Edwards Work Orders as Media Objects.

A practical field workflow

Capture information when it is created.

Important information is often generated in the field or on the shop floor, where logging into JDE may not be feasible. EZnotes helps ensure that contextual information is added promptly to the relevant Work Order.

What EZnotes can capture

  • Notes from the email body, including inline images
  • Photographs and document attachments
  • Information linked to an existing Work Order number

EZnotes monitors the mailbox and processes the structured incoming emails.

EZnotes workflow

EZnotes runs as a simple, automated and endlessly-repeating process on the JDE server.

For JDE administrators

Fits into established JDE environments.

EZnotes is a .NET server application that runs independently of the JDE user interface. It can operate on Windows or Linux, and monitors a dedicated mailbox, appending content and attachments as Media Objects to existing JDE Work Orders.
