The Wizard creates:
l An Email context with one section in it. The section contains dummy text and one or more
selectors for variable data, for example: "Hello @first@". You will want to replace those
by the names of fields in your data. See "Variable Data" on page337.
l
One script, named "To". Double-click that script on the Scripts pane to open it. This
script ensures that the email is sent to an email address that is specified in a data field
called "email-to". After loading data, you can change the script so that it uses the actual
field in your data that holds the customer's email address. See "Email header settings" on
page176
l A style sheet, named context_htmlemail_styles.css, and another style sheet depending
on which Template Wizard was used. The style sheets can be found in the Stylesheets
folder on the Resources pane.
The Wizard opens the Email section, so that you can fill it with text and other elements; see
"Content elements" on page186, "Email context" on page169, and "Email templates" on
page172.
Tip
Use the Outline pane at the left to see which elements are present in the template and to
