Message templates

You may have any number of message templates and use them to quickly compose e-mail messages.

Existing message templates can be found in the Reference data section of the navigation tree. When you compose messages, template list is displayed on the left of the message text.

In each message template, you can specify predefined Subject and Text contents. In both fields you're able to use same variables.

CC field allows to specify comma-separated list of e-mail addresses which will be automatically added to the CC field of all messages composed using this template.

You can assign any message template to be used as default in certain events. Currently, default templates are supported when you send: new invoices, job offers, assignment conformations, POs, payment reminders, quotes, translated files, login details to vendors.

To set particular template as default, open a template from the list and set a value in the Use as default for field.

For example, if you select Job offer as default for a particular template, then this template will be automatically used click Send availability request in the Contractors pickup tab in the Translation assignment editing form.

Note. Please don't select same value in the Use as default for field for different templates. In this case the application will choose first random template.
