Entering Parameters in Notification Subject

You can enter parameters in the subject field of a notification to generate a dynamic subject for email notifications.

The following parameters can be entered in the subject field:

{ID}
Returns the defect number
{PROJ}
Returns the project name
{PROD}
Returns the product
{COMP}
Returns the component
{USER}
Returns the user who modified the issue
{RULE}
Returns the name of the rule that triggered the notification
{SYN}
Returns the synopsis
{STATE}
Returns the current state of the issue
{SEV}
Returns the severity
{REASON}
Returns the current reason code of the issue
{CUSTOM1-40}
Returns the custom field of the specified number, e.g., {CUSTOM3} returns the value stored in custom field 3.

For example, if you want to create an email notification that informs you whenever the state of an issue changes, you could add the following text into the subject field:

State of issue {ID} was changed by {user}.

If Bill would fix the currently open issue no. 2, you would receive an email notification with the following subject:

State of issue 2 was changed by bpetersson.
