Utilizing Keywords in Notifications

When creating a written notification (whether a Welcome Page Company Notice, Message Center Notification, or system-generated Event-Driven Notification), you are able to have the text within the notification automatically contain information about the respective recipient of the notification or about the individual whom the notification is regarding.  Even if the notification is being created for a group of employees, the Keyword functionality makes each delivered notification personalized to the respective recipient.

Note: The list keywords that are available for use within a message may vary based on the type of notification being created/edited.
