Using Email Stationery

Important: Only those features that you have been granted access to will display. For access to additional features contact your system administrator.

 

Using stationery in your email messages lets you control the appearance of your email messages with custom colors and images, or even create professional looking newsletters for your organization. If you're an administrator, it's also possible to configure users' access profiles to require the use of stationery. It's important to be sure that there are published stationery designs available before restricting users to stationery, otherwise the restricted users will not be able to create email messages.
