The Email Template Editor allows you to create the Subject and Body text for your email, and specify all the recipients.

![]() |
Editor Area | Description |
Available Fields Palette (A) |
A list of the available form fields and links that can become part of the email message. To add a field or link to the email, drag-and-drop it from the left into either the Subject or Body editing sections. |
Email Subject (B) | Type any subject text you would like, along with fields and links from the palette on the left. |
Email Body (C) | The body can also include text, long with fields and links from the palette on the left. Unlike the Subject, the Body can also include formatting such as bullet-point lists, font effects like bold, italic and colors, and the inclusion of images and links. |
Email Template Properties (D) | Define the recipients of the email, along with some general settings. (See more details in the next section.) |

User | Entered the desired user’s email address in the provided field. |
Field | Select the desired field from the provided list. Only Directory Lookup fields from the current form will be listed. (If you do not see any options in the drop-down list, it is because you do not have any Directory Lookup fields on the current form.) |
