What are Notification Templates?
Notification templates are used to create the automatic emails which can be sent to Users and New Hires after an action is taken. System Administrators, Process Administrators, and Content Administrators can modify the templates by changing the subject and/or content of the email's message. Note that Content Administrators can only create or modify the content. They need assistance from a System Administrator or Process Administrator to bring the modified content into use in the product.
Which Notification Templates that are included in the standard product can be modified?
