Using Automation Setup Assistant

Subject:

Enter the email subject. You can enter codes to automatically add specific

information to the email’s subject.
Body:

Enter the email’s main text. You can enter codes to automatically add specific

information to the email.
Insert Metadata Field:

Choose a metadata field name from this pop-up menu to have

that field’s data added to the email. The fields are added as text in square brackets at
the insertion point’s location in this pane. The actual field’s data is substituted for that
text when the email is actually created and sent.
For example, you can add the “Required reviewers” metadata field to the To entry (it
appears as [Required reviewers]). When the email is actually sent, all email addresses
added to the asset’s “Required reviewers” field are automatically entered in the To entry.

Keep the following points in mind when using the Insert Metadata Field feature:

You can add metadata fields to the To, Subject, and Body entries of the email.

If the asset does not have any data for a metadata field added to the email, the email

includes the bracketed field name in the email in place of the data.
You can create custom metadata fields that appear in the Insert Metadata Field

pop-up menu—all you have to do is add them to a metadata group using the
Administration window. The metadata fields that appear in this list are those that
are part of metadata groups in the Custom Metadata category (in other words, any
groups that can be added to a metadata set).
In addition to choosing a metadata field from this pop-up menu, you can manually

type the metadata field’s name (enclosed in square brackets). Because these are
case-sensitive, be sure to exactly match the name of the metadata field.
