Tank menu on Notes?

Pipeline Integrations

Curious if there was a way to get tank/toolkit functions on Note entities?
I seem to be having some hiccups with it.

Thanks

Hi @Chris_Bennett,

Thanks for posting! May I know what kind of toolkit functions you would like to have on the menu? I think by default it’s not supported as Notes entity is not configured with Pipeline Toolkit/File Publishes.

Hey Ben!

Currently the idea is to make a ‘batch download/manipulate attachments’ on notes, but usually that’s how this starts. One feature gets requested then more come in later.
Bummer that they currently aren’t supported. I will make a standalone app for this instead for now.
Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Could an Action Menu Item fit the bill?

Hey Patrick,

We are now generally shying away from AMI’s as we always seem to hit a critical mass with them at some point in terms of resources needed by the server we put them on (and I would like to avoid a complex setup of clusters+load balancer). Toolkit provides an easy way to run it locally on the machine so we don’t have to manage that on our end all the time. I can start this on an AMI to see how it goes.
Thanks

Depending on what the AMI is doing, you can also delegate processing to the local computer by using a custom protocol. It’s not as neatly packaged as Toolkit, for sure, but it is possible.

Arguably, IMHO, the worst part becomes distribution of your AMI-handling app to users.

^^ That’s true I hadn’t thought of that, thanks! I’ll just have to get IT involved in pushing the regkey to users.

Haha true words.
