EmailPlusTemplate record type

The EmailPlusTemplate record type defines the templates for the content and layout of an email message. A template can be used by multiple rules for the same record type.

EmailPlus Template Definition tab

The EmailPlus Template Definition tab specifies basic information about the template such as its name, kind, and a description.

Templates tab

The Templates tab contains the definitions for the mail subject header and the body of the email message.

The Email Template Subject field contains the text that the email header displays. The Email Template Body field contains the content of the email. These two field can contain plain text and special substitution tags to expand the values that they represent when the template is applied. If you select Template Body is HTML, then the body can contain all valid HTML tags that can be placed between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags. For template bodies that are specified as HTML, when you need to force a new line, add a <BR> tag into the HTML source. You can use HTML tags with the SMTP Direct, SMTP Relay, and PostOffice Relay transport types, or with the Custom transport type, if the custom transport supports HTML tags. See Template meta tags for a list of template tags that you can use.

Using Rules tab

The Using Rules tab lists all the rules that are currently associated with a template. In the Using Rules table, you can see which rules are affected by changes to the template. Seeing the rules helps you decide whether to create a new template or to modify the existing one.

Attachments tab

On the Attachments tab, you can attach graphics or files to an email, and to specify an email header. EmailPlus does not use the attachments package. It does not use changes in the storage model that newer versions of the attachments package might provide. Template attachments are always stored in the IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® database. On the Attachments tab, you can do these actions:
