network. Data will be published or subscribed to under this name.

10.9 E-mail Templates
To make use of the E-Mail functions, mail templates can be created in the folder called
Mail Templates
. These are actually not data points, but are related to data points and are
therefore managed in the same window. For each different type of mail, a template must be
created and set up as required. The template may then either be used to send mail when one
or more trigger data points reach a certain value or the template may be triggered by an
action object (see the description of the action object in section 9.8).
In addition to the mail template setup, the mail account setup as described in section 11.6
must be completed to enable the actual sending of email.
To create a new mail template, select the folder called
Mail Templates
, open the context
menu in the data point list and select the item
New E-Mail Template…
. A new dialog to set
the properties of the new template is opened. This dialog has three tabs which are used to
set up the new mail template.
