You can use the Notification Wrappers screen to modify and use parameters on the Detail tab of the Wrappers screen.
Using the Parameter list view you can add new parameters and determine their value on the Detail tab of the Notification Wrappers screen. The <Add Parameter> and <Delete Parameter> buttons are used to modify the Parameter list view. Parameters can be used in wrappers and in the body of emails. The default parameters are displayed in the Parameter list view. The program substitutes a specified parameter whenever <parm:#PARAMETER> is entered in the code where PARAMETER is the parameter name.
Parameters are generally your institution's most commonly used fields. These fields may need to be changed at random times. Once a parameter is changed, the changes take affect in all wrappers and emails where the parameter is used the next day. This enables your institution to make changes across the Notification System quickly and seamlessly.
All default parameters must start with a hash tag (#). This differentiates the parameters from regular HTML parameters. If the parameter has multiple words, these words must be divided by an underscore (_). For example, to insert the marketing URL for your institution into the header your wrapper, you would type the following into the Header field:
•<a href="[parm:#MARKETING_URL]" style="color: #3E898F;">[parm:#MARKETING_URL_TEXT]</a>
Note: A work order is required for additional default parameters (strictly for tracking purposes).
