Notification templates in Service Manager include substitution strings. Although you should avoid modifying the predefined templates, you can duplicate them and then modify the duplicates.

In this example, you would browse and then select Affected User and then select Last Name to insert the string into the template. Later, when the notification is sent to the user, his or her first and last name is included in the message as a salutation. While this example is very simple, Service Manager includes substitution strings for almost every property that you might need to create notifications that can inform end users and other Service Manager users with very timely and relevant information.
