Embedding content from a dynamic source document in an email

You embed content from a source document for a publication in the Schedule dialog box.

You can embed content from dynamic content documents in the body of an email. For Crystal reports, you can embed content from a report. For Web Intelligence documents, you can embed an entire document or a single report tab.

  1. Right-click the publication to take the content from and select Schedule.
  2. In the Schedule dialog box, click Formats in the navigation list.
  3. (Crystal reports only) Under Format Options for Selected Document, select the mHTML check box.
  4. (Web Intelligence documents only) Choose whether to publish the entire document or one report tab:
    1. Under Output Format, select the mHTML check box.
    2. Under Output Format Details, select All reports to publish the entire document or Select one report and choose a report tab in the list.
  5. Click Destinations in the navigation list.
  6. In the Destinations dialog box, under Select Destinations, select the Email check box.
    The email configuration options appear.
  7. In the From box, enter a name or email address or select Email Address in the Add placeholder list.
    For example, you can enter Robert, Publisher, or publisher@sap.com. If you enter a name, the name is appended to your email server—for example, Publisher@<EmailServer>.
  8. In the Subject box, enter a subject or select a placeholder.
    If you personalized the report, personalized placeholders are available in the Add placeholder list.
  9. In the Message box, enter the message that you want to appear in the body of the mail.
  10. To embed dynamic content in the Message box, position the cursor in the Message box where you want to embed content, and select Report HTML Content in the Add placeholder list.
    %SI_DOCUMENT_HTML_CONTENT% appears in the Message box. When the publication runs, the placeholder is replaced by personalized content from the dynamic content document.
  11. If the publication contains other source documents, select the Add Attachment check box.
    Other source documents in the publication will be added to the email as attachments when the publication runs.
