24.3.2 Adding a Template

Use the Manage Notification Templates page to add a new notification template by specifying various attributes, such as template name and description, event details, and locale information.

To create a notification template:

Note:

Corresponding to each event that happens, you have to configure an XML file. The XML file defines the behavior of each event. You must first configure the XML for an event. After this is done, you can create a notification template for that event. For information about creating the event XML file, see Defining Event Metadata for Oracle Identity Governance.
