Layouts.

New templates can be added and existing ones can be edited at any time. 

E-mail Layouts

There are several different e-mails that are sent from the system, both automatic (e.g. confirmation for online purchases) and manually (receipt or reservation confirmations sent from box office). All these e-mails can be created and edited directly from box office in the e-mail layout module which can be found under Administration - Layouts - Emails.

The template is edited in HTML and it will require some previous knowledge if you would like to create a complete new design. It is however pretty easy to just change text snippets. All content in the HTML code will be put inside the <body> </body> tag.

The text that is black inside the body tag are text fields that you should look for and can edit. When changes are made in the code, it will immediately be visible in the preview window to the right.

Dynamic variables
