Editing Notification Extraction Rules

Edit notification extraction rules in the server-initiated starting point General properties.

  2. In the General Properties view, select the notification extraction rule to edit and click Edit.
  3. In the Edit Notification Extraction Rule dialog:
    Property Description
    Field type Select the field in the notification from which the parameter value is extracted, for example, Subject, which indicates the parameter value is extracted from the subject line of the notification message.
    Tag before parameter Enter the tag to indicate what to extract from the beginning of the field's contents, for example, "Approval Request\(".
    Tag after parameter Enter the tag that indicates what to extract from the end of the field's contents, for example, "\)was sent".
    Format Format uses the C# ParseExact syntax, and applies to DateTime only. It supports locale-specific parameter extraction. For example, you can indicate that a given date parameter will be in the form of yyyy-MM-dd in the e-mail, and another date parameter will be in the form of yyyy-dd-MM. This applies to the DateTime type.
    Key The key that the value from the notification is extracted to.
    Note: The supported syntax for the regular expression is that used by the C# Match() methods(s) of the class System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.
  4. Click OK.
