Greetings, IFS community.

 

A quick report needs to be automated.

 

Could a type of global variable be used within the subject and body of the email?

 

For more information, please refer to the screenshot.

 

Thanks,

JL

Hi @ZTC ZTC JGOTA,

I have tried using Context Substitution Variables in the Application Server Task’s subject and the body, and they didn’t work. So I guess it is not possible. 

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your prompt response, Charith.

It would be helpful if we could make use of some global variables in this case to automate a quick report. I believe this is necessary, especially if the customer requires some custom data in the subject and body of the email. Even when I attempted to use HTML in the email body, it returned an error.

Would the newest IFS version make this possible?

Hi @ZTC ZTC JGOTA,

Agree that it is a useful functionality. It would be a good idea to create an idea for this on IFS Ideation so that it would be considered in future development sprints.
