1.2 - Test the Do Before Update Event

Last updated 13/06/2023

With the SaveBookBeforeUpdate function attached to the Do Before Update event on the Book table, we can now test that Rick receives a notification when Chelsea selects him in the Borrowed By field.

The same members Chelsea and Rick will be used to demonstarte how the Do Before Update event works for both members.

As this demonstration is being performed locally, we'll need to perform the following workflow to see how the Book Club application is currently working:

• Log in as Chelsea to accept the book request.
• Log in as Rick to see the notification and the location of the book pick up.
