Procedure documentation Changing the Message Layout Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You can change the layout of the messages that are sent to the users as required. This enables you, for example, to change the format of e-mail messages to fit the corporate identity requirements of your company.

You define the layout of the messages in the view cluster for the configuration of notifications in the message template. You can assign a message template to one or more categories. This enables you to define a separate layout for each different category.

The message template references a BSP application (see also: Structure linkBusiness Server Pages). This in turn generates the relevant message. SAP ships the message template WORKFLOW1 and the BSP application SWN_MESSAGE1.

Note

Any new categories that you create in the administration application are automatically assigned to the standard message template WORKFLOW1. To be able to use your own message template, you must switch to the view cluster and assign the required message template to the new category.
