Path: Organization > Repair Center > Records / Email SettingsTab
Similar to the window found at Admin / Email Settings, the Repair Center / Email Settings Tab is used to create custom email responses for different actions (Events) that apply specifically to this Repair Center. You can also suppress these custom responses. You have the option to use some, all, or none of the selection combinations.
Note: Global settings can be made from Admin > Email Settings. If you prefer, you can use the global window to add Repair Center restrictions and create all your customized email from Admin > Email Settings. The appearance and use of the Email Template Entry flyout is the same on both windows. Changes made in either window are reflected in both.

Use the fields on the Email Template Entry flyout for custom replies for the selected Transaction Type and Event
The Transaction Type, Event, and Keyword selections allow you to select a module and action (Event) and then insert key words in your message Subject and Body for the selected Event. Text is required in both the Subject and Body fields to save a custom message.
The Suppress check box at the upper right of the Email Template Entry flyout gives you the option to prevent the message from being sent for a selected Transaction Type and Event.
The read-only To field shows the general recipient of the email. The To field changes based on the contents of the Transaction Type and Event fields. For example, if the Transaction Type is Approval Routing, the To field shows Authorizer.
