 +\\ \\ 2.23.1+ Save&Open button has been added allowing you to extract your template.  If you save as an HTML file it will also open in a browser where you can right click to inspect source and edit.  If you then save the file you can load back into the notification template using the Load button.
 ===== HTML wrapper mechanism ===== ===== HTML wrapper mechanism =====
 When generating an email notification, the expanded template will be inserted into an HTML_WRAP email signature construct, replacing the {bodytext} token. By default the wrapper with ID 'HTML_WRAP' will be used, but you can over-ride this in the 'HTML Wrap ID' Notification function. Into the wrapper will also be inserted a generated email signature, replacing {signature}. The 'DEFAULT' signature will be used unless the 'Signature ID' Notification function is used to over-ride. Any {origmessage} token in the wrapper will be blanked. When generating an email notification, the expanded template will be inserted into an HTML_WRAP email signature construct, replacing the {bodytext} token.

 ===== Adding a Thumbnail Photo ===== ===== Adding a Thumbnail Photo =====
 It is possible to include the thumbnail from a candidate record in a notification, this is useful if you are using notifications to send assignment confirmations.  General Setting number 3040 ‘Display Thumbnail Photo on Person’ needs to be set to Y then in your notification template insert the code {APP_THUMBNAIL} where you want the photo to appear. \\ \\ It is possible to include the thumbnail from a candidate record in a notification, this is useful if you are using notifications to send assignment confirmations.  General Setting number 3040 ‘Display Thumbnail Photo on Person’ needs to be set to Y then in your notification template insert the code {APP_THUMBNAIL} where you want the photo to appear. \\ \\

 +===== Adding an Image =====
 +Images can be included in the notification template by including something like <img width=300 class="center" src="file:///C:\IQX\Reports\logo.jpg"/> where you can set the file location and the name of the image.  If you are an IQXAnywhere client then you need to include something like <img width= "739" height= "623" style= "width:7.7in;height:6.4916in" src="https://pizza.iqxanywhere.net/assets/logo.jpg"> instead of the file path you use the web location.  You will also need to upload the file to Email, Web Report Images and rebuild Web once it has been uploaded.
 +
 +From 2.23.1+ it is also possible to send an ad hoc image to all recipients in your selection, this can be useful for sending marketing information that has been created as an image rather than a word document.  If set up by your system administrator a new button will appear in the notification allowing you to browse your computer for an image to include in all notifications. \\ \\
 +In the relevant template add the following :- <img src="{GETIMAGE}" alt="test" width="500" height="600"> to switch on the new image button in the notification. \\ \\ 
  
 ===== Custom Merge Fields ===== ===== Custom Merge Fields =====
 Some custom merge fields should ONLY be used in notifications (for example some HTML coding), there is now a Notifications Only tick box in Maintenance – Database Set Up – Custom Word Merge Fields.  If ticked the fields will not be available for adding to a document template, they will be accessible under the [Special] header in Notifications. \\ \\ Some custom merge fields should ONLY be used in notifications (for example some HTML coding), there is now a Notifications Only tick box in Maintenance – Database Set Up – Custom Word Merge Fields.  If ticked the fields will not be available for adding to a document template, they will be accessible under the [Special] header in Notifications. \\ \\
 +If using a custom merge fields that requires the information to be over multiple lines e.g. address in a block then the merge field will need to be amended to replace the carriage returns with HTML breaks.  This needs to be in the custom merge field and the _literal_ needs to be the first part:
 + string('_literal_',
 +replace( Item to be Replaced)  endif, string(char(13), char(10)), '<br/>'))
