Creating Email Text for Forgotten User IDs

Select PeopleTools , and then Security, and then User Profiles, and then Forgotten User ID Email Text.

This example illustrates the Forgotten User ID Email Text page.

For information on the rich text editor interface, see Applications User’s Guide: Working With Rich Text Editor Fields.

In the Email Text field, enter the text to be emailed in response to a user clicking the Forgot my user ID link. The text must include one of the specified text strings. When the message is sent to the user, the string <<%OPRID>> will be replaced with the user ID corresponding to the provided email address. The string <<%OPRIDALIAS>> will be replaced with the user ID alias. If the user profile does not have an alias assigned, <<%OPRIDALIAS>> will be replaced with the user ID.

Here is an example of an email text entry:

The user ID recorded for your email is <<%OPRID>>.

If the user ID is PTEMPL, the end user will receive the message:

The user ID recorded for your email is PTEMPL.
