Templates and Email Types

Template file names are based on the email types. The email types refer to situations that generate emails automatically. Some examples are the following:

RESERVED_SYSTEM_READY,

RESERVED_SYSTEM_TERMINATION_WARNING,

RESERVATION_READY,

RESERVATION_ABOUT_TO_EXPIRE,

RESERVATION_EXPIRED,

The template that corresponds to the RESERVED_SYSTEM_READY email type is RESERVED_SYSTEM_READY.html.

Template files are written using XHTML. One CSS file is provided for all the templates, and it is embedded in the HTML email messages rather than having an external style sheet. Customizing the CSS file (styles.css) is efficient because you edit only a single file.

Note: Do not delete styles.css.

Important! If you edit a template file, save it with UTF-8 encoding. Operating systems that are not English and have multibyte characters must be saved with UTF-8 encoding. Windows Notepad can save with UTF-8 encoding.
