Configuring Templates
To configure an email template, supply the following information:
You can delete any email template that you created and that is not in use. Preconfigured templates cannot 
be deleted.
Service Catalog sends the email notification formatted as a MIME multi part message with both a text 
part and an HTML part. Most email clients ignore the text part and display the html part. 
For instructions on using the HTML editor, see the Cisco Prime Service Catalog Designer Guide.
Using Namespaces
See the Cisco Prime Service Catalog Designer Guide for details on formatting emails with dynamic data 
content. 
The recipients of the notification will (obviously) depend on the event which triggers sending the email. 
For example, the customer (#Requisition.Customer.Email#) should typically receive notifications about 
significant changes in the status of a request. 
If the event is an authorization or review, it may be prudent to include the authorizer's delegate in the list 
of recipients (#Requisition.Alternate.Email#). If no delegate is currently designated, the namespace 
value will be blank and will not affect the appearance of the notification. 
Lists
Administration allows you to modify standard lists of values used across the site and in related reports 
and publish available languages.
Use the Lists tab to configure the following lists:
Name
