Inserting fields in an E-Mail Template
To insert a variable, click on the Fields list on the bottom left of the body field when adding or editing a template.
A few of the variables you are able to select from this menu include (but are not limited to):
-
The expiration name: contains the expiration item name.
-
The expiration date: contains the expiration date of the item.
-
The expiration comments: This is the comments field in the expiration item.
-
The category/document type name: this shows the category/document type the item belongs to.
-
Renewal Instructions: this displays the renewal instructions entered at the document-type, into the e-mail template
-
Days to expire: This shows in how many days the item will expire.
-
Custom fields: any custom field can also be added.

Keep in mind that all these variables also work on the Subject field but must be added manually.
