By default, all of the system fields necessary to supply required variable information are exposed in the event log. If an optional field is not exposed in the event log, that optional variable is ignored.
Any system field can be exposed in the event log. But a predefined F_xxx system field might be recorded in the event log record incorrectly or meaninglessly. For example, the F_Response field might contain a stale response string.
A user-defined field does not begin with "F_" and it must be exposed in the event log.
As indicated in the following table, the name of a field variable has the following parts: a "$" prefix and a field name. The field to which the name refers is the field from which the field variable obtains its value.
Field variable | Must be Exposed in Log | Description |
---|---|---|
$F_EMAILADDR emailAddr | A string that contains a secondary email address. The mail address specifies more recipients for the message; separate multiple recipients with a semicolon (";"). Adding this variable allows the system to send a copy of the notification to a person, or list of people, who would not otherwise be notified. Place the variable outside of the <HTML></HTML> tag set. For example, you might place the second address immediately after the line that contains the $F_SUBJPREFIX variable. If you add the variable inside the <HTML></HTML> tag set, the additional email addresses are displayed as part of the notification message. |
|
$USERFIELD | Yes | String containing information from an exposed user-defined field. "USERFIELD" is the name of the user-defined field. You must place the variable inside the <HTML></HTML> tag set. If you place the variable outside the <HTML></HTML> tag set, the text is not displayed as part of the notification message. |
