How can I format the body of an email subscription?

  • The client is requesting a 'pretty' layout including graphics for the body of the email subscription that sends out the monthly statements to his customers. Currently, I am able to define content (minus the graphics) but have not been able to format it. I am unable to force line feeds where they are needed for readability.

    I am utilizing the methodology proposed by Jason Selburg for data driven subscriptions where the body is defined - but no parameter is defined for the format of the body.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • You can format your text into your report itself. Like find the report below or attached sheets etc. You can pass parameter value into your report expression. So try to create textbox with expression with required field into it and it will appear in the report itself. U can have one paragraph of comments into subscription but it is difficult to format it as it doesnt support rich text.

  • Thank you.

    I was on a dead line and opted to utilize the file share result with DB Mail. DB Mail allows for the rich formatting and the file share supplied the report for attaching.

    I will keep this in mind for future projects that do not have the file share in place.
