When an Email template is created (see "Creating an Email template with a Wizard" on
page166) or when an Email context is added to a template (see "Adding a context" on
page114) the following happens:
l
The Email context is created and one Email section is added to it. You can see this on
the Resources pane: expand the Contexts folder, and then expand the Email folder.
See "Email templates" on page172 to learn how to fill an Email section.
Although only one email can be sent per record when generating Email output, the Email
context can contain multiple sections. One Email section is created at the start, but you
can add more; see "Adding an Email template" on page172 and "Importing an Email
template" on page173.
l A style sheet, named context_htmlemail_styles.css, is added to the template. Depending
on which Template Wizard was used to create the template, another style sheet can be
added as well. Style sheets are located in the folder Stylesheets on the Resources
pane. These style sheets are meant to be used for styles that are only applied to elements
in the Email context.
The Wizard opens the Email section, so that you can fill it with text and other elements; see
"Content elements" on page186 and "Email templates" on page172.
Sending email
When the template is ready, you can generate Email output; See "Generating Email output" on
page952.
To test a template, you can send a test email first. This allows you to override the recipient
address.
Output, generated from an Email template, can have the following attachments:
l The contents of the Print context, in the form of a single PDF attachment. (Compression
options for PDF attachments can be specified in the Email context's properties; see
"Compressing PDF attachments" on the next page.)
l Other files, an image or a PDF leaflet for example.
Attaching the Print context is one of the options in the "Send (Test) Email" on page510 dialog.
