    • Name: The name of the template.

      Each template must have a unique name.

    • Description: An explanation which email message the template is used for.

    • Company: The company the template is used for.

      If your environment includes multiple companies, you can create different templates for each company.

    • Email Type: The type of email message the template is used for. (This option is available when you add or clone a template.)

      Note: If you change the template locale, you must also click Restore Default under the Subject and Body to update the locale setting.

    • Customized address fields: The email addresses to use.

      To set the subject to the system default value, click Restore default.

    • Body: The body of the email message.

      • To add placeholders to the email body, click Token, and then click a placeholder.

        For example, if you add $ADMINISTRATOR_NAME$, it is replaced by the name of the administrator when the email message is sent.
