Configuring Notification Templates

You can view or modify the Notification Templates for the various modules of the SUMMIT application. The Analysts use these Notification Templates to send various types of e-mail communication to the End Users. The Notification Templates ensure that e-mails are sent to the End Users in a particular format and no information is missed out. This also saves the Analysts' time in typing in the e-mail communications.

To configure Notification Templates:

  1. Select Admin > Advanced > Notifications > Notification Template.
  2. On the NOTIFICATION TEMPLATE page, click ADD NEW on the ACTIONS panel.
  3. Select the Department and specify the new Notification Template details. For more information about the fields on the NOTIFICATION TEMPLATE page, see Field Description.
