    • Rich formatting carries information beyond the words and numbers in the message. With rich formatting, not only are your messages accurate and timely, they are also easily understood by their recipients. They communicate your company's brand to your customers and partners.

      Starting with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release 9.2.6.3, you can create orchestration and notification messages that include formatted text, tables, images, and links that are interspersed with the text. In this learning path, you will create a notification message with formatted text and images. You will also dispatch that notification so you can see what the message recipient would see. All the rich formatting features used in these exercises apply to orchestration messages, too. In fact, if you prefer, you can complete these exercises using an orchestration message step instead of a notification. You can then create an orchestration with that message step and run it to send the email to yourself.

      In this learning path you will learn how to:

      • Create an orchestration (or notification) message that contains formatted text, such as bold, italic, color, and size.
      • Copy and paste formatted text from an outside source, such as Microsoft Word.
      • Preview the message from within Orchestrator Studio.
      • Add a table and an image.
      • Add an application link and learn the concept of a “placeholder.”
      • Create a message template and add that template to the message.
      • Dispatch the message as a notification.

    • Scenario
      Imagine that you work for a company that has several managers who are responsible for health and safety. Health and safety incidents are recorded in the EnterpriseOne Health and Safety Incidents application, and the managers need to review the incidents and take action. But from time to time the managers need a reminder to check on the status of the incidents, so you will create a nicely formatted message as a reminder to them, and include a convenient link in the message to launch the Health and Safety Incidents application.

      What Do You Need?
      To perform the steps in this learning path, you will need:

      • Access to a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environment with Tools Release 9.2.6.3 or later. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Trial Edition running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is suitable, but you can use any environment with the proper Tools release.
      • Security access to use Orchestrator Studio.
      • If you choose to complete these exercises using a notification message that is deployed to the notification list, then your EnterpriseOne system does not need an SMTP email server.
        If you choose to build an orchestration message or a notification that is deployed to email, then your EnterpriseOne server will need an SMTP email server configured.
        Alternatively, if your EnterpriseOne system does not have an SMTP email server configured, you can send the message to the Work Center tab in the Message Center application (P980051X). Make sure that the Address Book number you use does not have an email address associated with it in Who’s Who.
