Use these fields and options to specify the summary and contents for the notification center alert for an invoice approval action.

Field Description

To insert an invoice field into the summary, place your mouse pointer in the Summary field in the location where you want to insert the field, and click the Insert Field button above the field. In the Column Selection dialog box, click the field to insert, and click OK.

Example: "An invoice for [:CL.Client] for [:PR.Name] is ready for your approval"

This adds the invoice’s client name and project name to the notification summary.
