Dynamically Changing the Format of an Email to include a table and text fields

[arce88]

Hello!

What I am trying to accomplish: Send an email that includes 1) a table I created with the table tool. 2) Text using the report text. (note: these are already two different fields.

Problem: The moment I go into the Email tool and attempt to add the text I created using the report text, it destroys the table and only brings out like the front end code of the table and not the table itself.

Question: What can I do to have the text be nicely formatted within the email without destroying the table?

Hi @arce88 ,

How do you have the Email tool configured? Is "Body" pointed to a reporting element?

The Report Text should attach text to existing field = Table, or you can use a Layout Tool to arrange the Report Text and Table into a single column of data for the Email Body.

Attached is an example.

Thanks,

Jessie

As @JessieC  suggested, bringing the two elements together into a single column using the union tool and feeding them into the Layout tool using Vertical orientation is probably the best way to achieve what you need. Example workflow attached.
