Customizing attributes and tabs for an alert
As an administrator, you can customize the locale, subject, header, footer, and message text for event-triggered alerts. You can customize alerts based on events for the entire system, or for a selected template. For example, you can customize the alert that is sent out whenever a program is started. Alternatively, you can customize the alert for one specific program template only, such as the
Tradeshow
sample template.
When you add attributes and links to system tabs, they are displayed as system-defined tags. When the alerts are sent out, the system replaces the tags with the values appropriate for the object.
About adding attributes
You can insert standard planning object attributes or system attributes related to an event. You can add attributes for the subject, body, header, and footer.
About adding links to system tabs
You can provide a link to any system tab of the planning object. The email message then contains a link directly to the selected tab for the planning object. For example, when a project is started, the notification could include a link to the workflow tab of the project.
In templates, you can add links to system tabs for the subject, body, header, and footer. At the system level, you can add system tab links only in the subject and body (not in the header and footer).
