Using recordsets and Universal Email

One method for defining the properties of an email is retrieving information from a recordset on the page to which the Universal Email server behavior is applied.

The Universal Email dialog box contains features to directly configure recordset content to populate the TO, CC, BCC, and Attachment properties.

Body content can be retrieved from a recordset by specifying server-side code directly within the Body tab of the Universal Email dialog box. We recommend creating your body page in Dreamweaver and using the Get from File button to import content directly into the Universal Email dialog. See Using Server-side code and Universal Email for more information.

To define email application attributes from a recordset:

  1. Open the page containing the recordset.
  2. Access theUniversal Email Quick Insert page.
  3. Select the email property you need to define.
  4. Click the dynamic data lightning bolt next to the property to be defined.

    The Select Data Bindings dialog opens.
  5. From the Field control list, expand the recordset which you are retrieving data from.
  6. Click the recordset column which the information will be retrieved from.
  7. The Code: field will be populated with the necessary code to retrieve the information from the recordset.
  8. Click OK.

    The Code referenced within the Select Data Bindings dialog box will be populated into the appropriate field within the Universal Email dialog box.
  9. Continue to configure Universal Email as desired and Click OK to save the configuration.
