The Email Layout defines the common visual design elements for all notification emails sent by your application’s workflows. You can define optional banner and footer content, and set the background color of each area. The subject and body content of each email notification will be defined by it’s Email Template in the related application.
Email Layout Editor
The Layout Editor is much simpler than the Email Template Editor, as there are far fewer things that you can define. You can add content (formatted text, images, tables, links, etc.) to the Banner area and the optional Footer area. You can use the menu bar at the top of the editor to change fonts, text size and color, add tables, images, links, and more.
