The following are tips about the template files in TeamWorks.
Each template contains a brief explanation about what it affects and what you can customize in it.
TeamWorks system-generated emails contain both text and HTML MIME parts.
You can customize these independently.
You can customize for specific languages to localize the emails your TeamWorks system generates.
You can revert back to the default template by selecting a customized template in the list and then clicking the Delete button.
Make sure you use the Velocity documentation.
For example, one user assumed that the hash marks (#) indicated comments, when in fact they are part of the Velocity scripting language.
The default email templates that reside on the TeamWorks system cannot be changed or deleted, but you can create and deploy customized copies of them by doing the following:
Download a template to your local disk by clicking it in the Email Templates dialog.
Open the downloaded template in a text editor.
Customize the file as discussed in the Video Walkthrough below and documented on the Apache Velocity Project website.
Save the template on your local disk.
Upload the customized file by dragging and dropping it into the Email Templates dialog.
The Type then changes to Customized.
