Create/edit e-mail templates
 

E-mail templates define the content and layout of automatic e-mail messages sent by the system. A newly registered user automatically receives his/her password via e-mail, for instance. The p-admin can personalize the text of the email templates.



First, the general procedure will be explained. Examples for adjustments in the main input field ("Body") are given afterwards.

In order to create an e-mail template, proceed as follows:

|1|
Choose "Messages" from the main menu by clicking on it.


|2| Click on the “modify”-button next to “Email templates”.

|3| If your platform has just been created, you will see a list of standardized e-mail templates. In order to change one of the templates, click on the "modify"-button in the respective row. If one of the templates is still missing, click on the respective link on the left side.

|4| In order to create a new e-mail template, fill out the following input fields:

Sender email: Fill in the sender's email address.
Sender names: Fill in the sender's name (e.g. name of the platform or of the p-admin).
Subject: Fill in the subject of the e-mail (e.g. "Your registration").
Body: Create the e-mail text (see examples below!)
Encoding: In case your users are mainly from the western European area,
you can keep to the “default”.
 
|5| Click on “add” or “save changes” in order to save the template.
