Using Variables in Email Text

Users can use variables in the e-mail text to identify the exact item and its property values, making the e-mail message more specific. Users can insert any item property using the syntax ${property name}, including system properties. There are also the following runtime variables supported in Innovator:

Here is an example. We have an item with the following properties: name, part_number, and color. It also has the usual system properties, and we will use the property state to indicate which life cycle state the item is entering. An e-mail message could be configured as shown below. If a user right clicks on the e-mail row and select View “Email Message” from the pop-up menu, an email message in a separate window, as shown here.

Notice the use of two variables in the subject line - ${name} and ${state}. Please make sure to use the property names, not labels. The Body of the message is using the additional property ${part_number}.
