Email Templates
Email templates are used when sending emails to both users and operators. Email templates can be localised, and merge fields can be utilised to fill in useful details based on the user or ticket details.
Searching for Email Templates
The email templates are divided into three sections, user, operator and custom. Any new email templates you create are added to the custom section, all pre-existing email templates are split between user and operator depending on who they are sent to.
Table sorting
By default the table is sorted alphabetically. Once the table has loaded you're able to change the sort column by clicking the up/down arrows:
- Down arrow: descending order
- Up arrow: ascending order
This action is only temporary and will disappear once the page has been reloaded.
Filtering the table
A filtering option exists for each section, it's possible to filter email templates based on their name:
- Visit Settings -> Core -> Email Templates, click on the section tab that you would like to filter and click "Filter Results".
- Search terms:
- Name - It is possible to search for partial names. For example, you could find "New ticket reply" by searching for "new" or "eply".
- The table will be filtered automatically as you enter search terms.
