Content from file

The content from file field is used to insert content from an external document, by specifying a location for the required document. This is useful (for example) if you need to use content for an automatic reply that is constantly being updated - rather than adding text directly into the template editor each time there is a change, simply specify a location to the original file and the latest content will always be included. The file location specified must be accessible to the user NETWORK SERVICE.

To use content from an existing file in a template, follow the steps below:

1. Use the fields panel to insert a content from file field.

2. Select the newly inserted field and check the properties pane - a property named file location is shown (view example).

3. Click the browse button to open the file location window (view example).

4. Click browse to navigate drives and folders (view example).

5. Select the required file and click open to select the file.
