Symbol Replacement
The e-mail subject and body use a symbol replacement feature. A symbol is a string of predefined text that is replaced when the e-mail is generated with the value that the symbol represents. Predefined symbols are listed in the screen legend.
The value for a symbol is only available in associated functions of QAD CSS. For example, generating an e-mail with the [@orderNum] symbol at the time of login does not produce an order number in the e‑mail content.
