Email templates

You can design an email template for each entity, customize the email header and footer, and add a security tag to the email subject.

Email customization is set at the shared space level.

Design templates

Define an email template for each entity. The template includes the fields that will be listed in the email for the selected entity, the subject line, and description.

To design an email template:

Open the Settings menu , click Spaces, and select a shared space .
In the Entities pane, select an item.
Click the Email sub-tab.
Examine the fields that appear by default. To add a field, click Add field. To delete a field, select it and click Delete.
To change the order in which fields are displayed in the template, select a field and click Move Up or Move Down.

Note: Memo fields must be placed above or below the Details section. Use Move Up or Move Down to place it accordingly.
In the Email Subject Prefix field, enter a prefix for the email subject. Each field must be enclosed in curly brackets.

Example: \{OpenText Core SDP\} – {workspace.id} – {severity}

Example:

1:

Prefix script: \{OpenText Core SDP\} workspace id: {workspace.id} workspace name: {workspace.name}

Output: {OpenText Core SDP} workspace id: 1002, workspace name: ws1

2:

Prefix script: defect name: {name}, severity: {severity}

Output: defect name: defect A, severity: High

Note: The subject prefix is used for emails generated automatically by business rules and notifications. It is not used for emails sent manually by a user via the toolbar command.
To include a link to the document report generated by a release process auto action, select the Auto Action entity in the Entities pane and make sure the Output properties field is included. For details, see Auto actions.
