Setting up and working with e-mail templates
 
E-mail templates are texts that define the layout and content and also other metadata of the automatic emails that are sent to the user by the system. For example when a user registers, he receives his password via email. The way this email looks like is defined by an email template. If you don’t use this feature, the system default templates are taken. Instead, you can personalize these texts, using this pAdmin option, as described below.

Setting up an E-Mail-Template:
First the general process will be explained: Please take the appropriate inputs in the main field (“Body”) from the examples listed below.

Procedure:
|1| Click in the main menu on “Messages”
|2| Click on the “modify” button next to “Email templates”.
|3| If your platform is new, you should now see a list of standardized E-mail templates. In order to change one of the templates, click on the “modify” link on the appropriate row. If one of the templates is still missing, click on the appropriate link to the left.
|4| The following fields must to be filled out, or the proper options selected:

Sender email: Here, fill in the “Sender,” in the form of an e-mail address.
Sender names: Fill in a name (of the platform or of the pAdmin)
Subject: Fill out the subject of the e-mail, e.g.: "Registration"
Body: Provide the e-mail text here (see the example texts).
Encoding: In case your users are mainly from the western eroupean area you can keep the “default”.

|5| Click on “add” or “save changes” in order to save the template.

Examples:
