The following are tips about the template files in Vibe.
Each template contains a brief explanation about what you can customize.
Vibe system-generated emails contain both text and HTML MIME parts. You can customize these independently.
You can customize by language to localize the emails your Vibe system generates.
You can revert back to the default template by selecting a customize template in the list and then clicking the Delete button.
Make sure you use the Velocity documentation.
For example, one user assumed that the hash marks (#) indicated comments, when in fact they are part of many scripting languages, including Velocity.
Complete information and instructions for the Apache Velocity version 1.5 template language are available on the Apache Velocity Project website.
The default email templates that reside on the Vibe 4.0.8 system cannot be changed or deleted, but you can create and deploy customized copies of them by doing the following:
Download a template to your local disk by clicking it in the Email Templates dialog
Open it in a text editor
Save it on your local disk.
Upload the customized file by dragging and dropping it into the Email Templates dialog.
The Type then changes to Customized.
