Chapter 10: Configuring the Avaya Notifications Subsystem
File Templates
File templates describe the layout and content of a notification. These files are American
StandardCode for Information Interchange (ASCII), text based, and contain a mixture of text
and control keywords. Before a notification is sent, a temporary file is built based on a file
template and the individual data associated with a booking. There are two types of control
keywords that may be included in a file templates; Alias controls and Command controls.
File templates are based on notification type, conference type, recording state and booking
types; single and repeat. There are six types; confirm, remind, cancel, change, attendance, and
invitation. There are several conference types; Meet Me Direct, Meet Me Operator Assisted,
Meet Me Toll Free, Dial Out Operator Assisted, Self-Dial, Marketeer, and Self Registration
(recognized by the bridge as Meet Me Secure). Fax templates are stored in the directory
described by the INI setting [Fax Resource] WorkingDir=, e-mail templates by the configuration
[E-mail] WorkingDir.
Each release of Notifications Subsystem builds on the number of templates shipped with the
application. This release contains extra invitation templates.
Any editor may be used as long as the file is saved in an ASCII format. An editor that uses
non-proportional fonts is recommended to get a better sense of the resulting fax output i.e.
NOTEPAD.EXE.
