Changing the Format of Attachments

The Detailed choice in the Include list of the Notification Editor attaches a report to the notification message. This report includes most fields for an issue.

If you do not use Crystal Reports, attachments can be HTML files or text files. If you do use Crystal Reports, attachments are RTF files by default. You can change this to be PDF, text, or a number of other formats. See Viewing Reports for more information on using Crystal Reports for listing reports.

To change the format of a notification attachment:

1    Open the project definitions database.

2    In tblMailContents, change the nFormatType for the attachments. (Attachments have nType = 3 in tblMailContents).
