Email templates enable administrators to create reusable content for the subject line
and message body of email notifications.
Templates deliver consistent information on specific system activities and improve the
efficiency of creating multiple email notifications for similar actions. If necessary, you can
make minor changes on the fly to an email that uses a template by overriding the subject line and
message body content in the notification form. A common practice is to define the message body in
a template and create new subject lines for different types of recipients. There is no limit to
the number of templates that you can create.
Email templates are created in rich HTML format, and administrators have the option of
converting existing email templates to rich HTML (starting with the Eureka release). This format
provides several advantages, including:
- Raw HTML content is converted into a WYSIWYG format.
- The content can be edited in a feature-rich HTML editor.
- Mail scripts are condensed into a single, easy-to-read line that can be reused in multiple
email notifications.
- To prevent broken links, images linked using URLs relative to a particular instance are
converted to absolute links.
