Hi,
I was wondering if we could have parameterizing feature for sending mails to intended audience.
For e.g., if we have "APP_OWNER" defined for the domain, we could have used %APP_OWNER% in TO section that will pick it up from there like it is picking %REPNAME% for Subject line.
Any help and Support highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vaibhav
