View the tabs of an email template

After you create an email template, you can view its properties, design, and any messages created based on it. If you have applicable security rights, you can also edit the properties and design of the template. Changes made to the template do not affect individual email messages already created based on the template.

1. From Email, click Templates. Templates appears.
2. To search for a template, enter its name or subject, or select its data source in the filter fields and click Filter. The templates that match your criteria appear.

Note: The grid can display up to 50 results at a time. If you have more than 50 results, click Prev or Next to page through the results, or select the page number to view.

3. Next to the template to view, click Click here to edit this email template. The email template Properties screen appears.
4. On the Properties tab, view the properties and security settings entered when the template was created. To help you navigate through the information, the Properties tab contains the Properties and Targeting & Security tabs.
On the Properties tab, view the name, description, data source, and default mailing options entered when the template was created. If the template message contains merge fields, you cannot change the selected data source.
When you host multiple sites, the Assign to site field appears on the Properties tab so you can move a template from its current site to another site. If the template is in use on the source site, it continues to be on that site. However, the template is now associated with the target site and its security.
On the Targeting & Security tab, view the security rights assigned to user roles for the email template.
5. To view the default content for all email messages based on the template, select the Design tab.
6. To view the messages created based on the template, select the Messages tab.
7. To return to Templates, click Return.
