  • Alerts Tab - This is the message sent when approvers don't take action within the review days defined for the Workflow step. The subject field is locked for this message type.
  • Reminders Tab - This is the message sent to alert users that a Reminder date has been reached. You can create individual messages for each record type or use a default message. To use a default message, clear the record type selector in the toolbar, edit, and save the message. Then, select each record you want to use that default and verify that the "Use Default Message" box is checked.
  • Notifications Tab - This is the default message that opens when you click the Notification button in the Header toolbar. You can create individual messages for each record type or use a default message. To use a default message, clear the record type selector in the toolbar, edit, and save the message.

Finally, return to the default message and click the "Update Unlocked Templates" button. Going forward, any time you edit the default template, click the Update button again to copy your edits down.

This area works generally the same on each tab in the Message Templates page. Place your cursor in the Subject field or the Editor pane and then click one of the fields in the tree to insert a token.
