Step by Step
1 Open the Email Template Selection window (SS> Maintenance> Email Template).
3 Customize the look of the email.
- Because these email templates are designed to be used with a wide variety of email systems, any display customization must be accomplished using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) tags.
- These tags are most often used in pairs. Only the words, phrases or paragraphs that fall between the opening tag and the closing tag will be affected. For example, in the following sentence, the words "username" and "password" would appear in bold text on the email.
To complete the registration process, please access the Employee Self Service portal using your <b>username</b> and <b>password</b>.
- Here are a few of the most commonly used HTML tags:
HTML Tag |
Effect |
<b> </b> |
This is the Bold markup tag. Any words or phrases between these tags will be displayed in bold text. |
<i> </i> |
This is the Italic markup tag. Any words or phrases between these tags will be displayed in italicized text. |
<br /> |
This is the Line Break markup tag. Place this tag at the end of a line if you wish to return to the beginning of the next line. You can also use this tag between lines to increase the space between one line and the next.
This is a self-contained, single tag that does not require an opening tag and a closing tag like the other tags described here.
