Email Subject Table

To view circulation parameters, you must be assigned permission 373 (View Circulation Parameters). To edit the Email Subject table, you must be assigned permission 701 (Edit Email Subject). See Permissions Used by Sierra for more information.

You can use the Email Subject table to create alternate subject lines for circulation notices that are sent by email. You can assign a subject to emailed circulation notices when selecting notice parameters. If you do not specify an email subject, the system uses the default subject line from the Notices: E-mail notice information circulation option.

You can access the Email Subject table via the following menu path:

Admin | Parameters | Circulation | Email Subject

For information on modifying this table, see Maintaining System Parameter Tables and Maintaining Circulation Parameters.

The Email Subject table is available only if the Notices: E-mail notice information circulation option is enabled. Because the system identifies entries in the Email Subject table by their numeric position in the table, you cannot move, delete, or insert new entries in the table; you can only append a new entry to the end of the table.

For more information, see Functionality Information and Data Elements.
