Managing Email Settings
VIP sends a number of different emails to users. You can customize the templates for some of these emails. Once customized, VIP will use your template when it sends these emails to users.
Email as a credential templates:
To customize an email, select whether to use a Symantec-branded template or a Basic template. The Symantec-branded template includes the body text and a Symantec-branded header and footer. The Basic template includes only the body text. Then, select the appropriate template, and add a subject line (up to 988 alphanumeric characters only). Enter your customized email text in the Body field. You can use only plain text or HTML format, and the body text cannot exceed 1000 characters. JavaScript and XSS code are automatically removed.
You can use the Insert Variable dropdown to add variable codes to the template (you can also enter them manually). VIP replaces these codes with the actual value in the emails sent to users. Although the order does not matter, you must use all of the required variables at least once in your template. Only variables marked Optional can be omitted.
To include images, enter the full path to the image. You must use https://. VIP supports the .webp, JPEG, PNG, and GIF image formats.
Click Preview at any time to see how the email will appear to the user. Save the template when you are done. You can also discard your changes to revert to the last saved version, or reset the template to the default to erase any previously saved template.
