Email Body

This field is used to define the body of the email to be sent to the user.

CorasWorks populates the Email Body field with a default message so you have something to start with, but it can be changed. You can include HTML or plain text characters.  Any fields in the form can be used. 

As an example, the email body documenting recent updates to a project could read:

The summary for Project ID: <*=Project ID*> has been updated by <*CreatedUser*> on <*FormModified*><*Return*><*=Return*>

Please note the formatting of variable names.

      Fields should be encapsulated like this: <*=fieldname*>

      Carriage returns should be encapsulated like this: <*=Return*>

      Other key fields and syntax:

      The summary for Project ID: <*=Project ID*> has been updated by <*=CreatedUser*> on <*=FormModified*><*=Return*><*=Return*>

      Message:<*=Return*><*=Message*><*=Return*>Links: <*=Return*>

      This returns the hyperlinked words Record and Workspace:

<a href="<*=ItemURL*>?cwformtype=edit&RecordID=<*=RecordID*>">Record </a><*=Return*> <a href="
<*=SiteURL*>"><*=SiteTitle*></a><*=Return*> <*=Return*>

Where:

      <*=Return*> = Carriage Return

      <*=SiteTitle*> = The Site Title from the site where the BDF resides

      <*=CreatedUser*> = The user who created/modified the item

      <*=FormModified*> = The date/time when the item was created/modified

      <*=ItemURL*> = The direct URL to the BDF

      <*=RecordID*> = The ID returned by the form during a save. You must enable the Edit Record ID or XPath for New Record ID properties

      <*=SiteURL*> = The Site URL where the BDF resides

      <*=CurrentDate*> = The current "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" time when the item was created/edited
