Navigation:  PRS Essential Reference > Messaging > Message Templates

Message Templates are boilerplate messages that the user can insert into outgoing Email and SMS messages. Templates with vacancy activity names are used to generate automatic notifications when a new vacancy activity is entered.

 

Use the Message Templates menu command (in the Tools->Setup menu) to create and edit templates.

 

To create a new Message Template scroll to the blank template at the end of the list and enter a Name, Subject and message Body.

 

To insert a Message Template into a new mail message press the Insert Message Template... button on the Mail Message form.

 

Use the Restore Defaults... button to restore missing and/or updated default message templates that ship with the PRS.

 

NOTE: The message template names in the Name drop-down list are special — they match vacancy activity names, templates with these names are used to generate automatic notifications when a new vacancy activity is entered. For example, if there is a message template named Applied then you will be asked if you want to send an notification Email or SMS message to the candidate whenever you enter an Applied vacancy activity, the message will be formatted using the Applied message template. If there is no template name matching the activity name you won't be prompted to send a notification message.

 

You can also insert placeholders into your Message Templates, these are replaced by actual message parameters when the template is inserted into the outgoing mail message.
