Customize email templates in

Customize email templates in by inserting real-time information into the emails using special variables. For example, to use the name of the incident in the email, use the {name} variable where you want the incident name to appear. Variables can be used in both the subject and body of the email.

  1. From the Home menu, select Administration.
  2. Select Administration Settings > Email Settings.
  3. Select a template from the drop-down list. Templates provided by default are New Incident Assigned and Approvals.
  4. Modify the email template for your use. You can use the variables listed in the following table.
