The source (Send or Respond) of a message attribute determines how the message attribute is used. When you define a message attribute with a source of 'Send', you can embed the message attribute in the subject and/or body of the message for token substitution. In addition, you can attach the message attribute to the message when the notification is sent.
Each message attribute has a specific data type. The value of a 'Send' message attribute can be a constant or can be a value returned by an item type attribute of that same data type. To embed a message attribute in a message's subject or body for token substitution, specify the internal name of the message attribute using the format &MESGATTR within the subject or body text.
Note: You should not embed a message attribute of type Document in a message's subject, since Document message attributes cannot be be token substituted in the subject. For a DM Document message attribute (to be supported in a future release), the attribute's display name will be substituted in the subject. All other Document message attributes embedded in the subject will be ignored.
You can, however, embed Document message attributes within the body of a message for token substitution.
