Notification content records

Notification Content records are templates for notifications. They provide the fixed portions of a notification's content. To manage Notification Content records, navigate to Tools > Approvals & Notifications > Notifications > Notification Content.

Workflows use a combination of the value of the ID field and the Language field to identify the Notification Content record to be used to create a notification.

The value of the Notification Subject field is used to create the subject of a notification and the value of the Notification Content field is used to create the body of the notification.

Notice that the text in the Notification Subject field and in the Notification Content field contains numbers in curly braces, for example, {7}. Each number in curly braces is a place holder for text to be supplied by a Notification Helper record. The number inside the curly braces is not converted. The Description field should describe the purpose of each of these place holders.

The value of the Language field identifies the language in which the values of the Notification Subject field and the Notification Content field are written. For more information, see Globalizing applications.

For more information about notifications, see Notifications.

If a Notification Content record references any form report templates, Notification Helper records that use the Notification Content record must identify the record to provide the variable content for the form report.
