- It is a good idea to keep the key term variables in the message, so that the notification can contain specific information regarding the alert.
- For example, if you created an alert to watch for Payroll pay code changes - you would want to know who changed the pay code and for which employee it was changed. So, the <User Name> and <Employee Name> key terms would not be edited.
- However, if you create an alert to watch a specific vendor and the name of that vendor has not been updated in the system, it might be a good idea to use the name you recognize for the specific vendor when alerted.
