Create a Notification Template
Predefined notification templates exist for events related to the user-account life cycle, such as user-account creation and password reset. When templates are enabled, users are notified automatically of events that affect them. To provide your own notifications, you create notification templates.
Follow these steps to create a notification template:
-
Open the Security Console and click the User Categories tab.
-
On the User Categories page, click the name of the relevant user category.
-
On the User Categories: Details page, click the Notifications subtab.
-
On the User Category: Notifications page, click Edit.
-
Click Add Template.
-
In the Add Notification Template dialog box:
-
Enter the template name.
-
In the Event field, select a value. The predefined content for the selected event appears automatically in the Message Subject and Message Text fields. Tokens in the message text are replaced automatically in generated notifications with values specific to the user.
-
Update the Message Subject field, as required. The text that you enter here appears in the subject line of the notification email.
-
Update the message text, as required.
This table shows the tokens supported in the message text.
