Notification Tags

This section describes the tags that can be embedded in the notification messages served by the notification agent via email. The tags are replaced at run-time by actual values.

Tag Syntax Overview

The general structure of a tag is as follows: 

{{tag-name [attrib="attrib-value"]}}

In particular:

  • The tag must be enclosed in double curly braces ( {{ and }} ).
  • The tag name may contain the following characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ (underscore), and - (dash). The tag name may not contain spaces or any other special characters.
  • The tag may contain zero, one, or more attributes. Attributes are separated by one or more spaces.
  • Certain attributes may be required while others are optional.
  • The attribute has a name and value separated by the = (equal) sign.
  • The attribute name may contain the following characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ (underscore), and - (dash). The attribute name may not contain spaces or any other special characters.

  • The attribute value is quoted. The value may contain any characters; however, including quotation mark and backslash characters included in the value must be done as follows:

    • The quotation mark (") must be entered as \" (backslash-quote), which will be converted to a quotation mark at run-time.
    • The backslash (\) must be entered as \\ (two backslashes), which will be converted to a single backslash character at runtime.
