Introduction
ManagementStudio provides the ability for project administrators to issue unlimited test sign-offs directly to end-users via a web form. For example, part of the UAT process might have a group of users testing the application against different delivery types, such as physical desktop, thin client, or virtualised application. Users are notified via email and would use a web browser to input the results directly into ManagementStudio.
Although the examples in this document refer to the Application module, Test Sign-Off emails are available to the following modules: Applications, Users, Devices, Mailboxes, Bespoke, Deployment Units, and Defects.

Email Templates
Accessing the Email Templates
The email templates are located within the Test Sign-Off sections of the supported modules. For example, to access the email templates for the Applications module:
- Open the Administration section by clicking the icon in the bottom left corner (1).
- Select Applications from the menu and choose Test Sign-Offs (2) from the Surveys, Sign-Offs & Self Schedule section.
- Select the appropriate Test Sign-Off from the dropdown menu (1) or create a New Survey (2)
- Click Emails from the tabs on the left (3)
Template Types
Test Sign-Offs contain three email templates that are used at different stages of the process:
| Template Name | Function |
|---|---|
| Test Sign-Off Email | Invite the end-user to participate in the Test Sign-Off, providing a link to the webform. |
| Reminder Email | Remind the end-user that their participation is required. By default, this is automatically issued after 14 days. The waiting period is adjusted under Settings > Email for the Test Sign-Off. |
| Complete Test Sign-Off Email | Confirm that the user's input has been received by ManagementStudio. |
Creating Content
Main Body
Each template provides the content that is used for the email body. As this is common to Surveys and Test Sign-Offs, the process of adding content is discussed at:

Email Template Wrappers
All emails sent from ManagementStudio are based on a global wrapper that is responsible for creating the presentation of the email, including style, layout, header and footer. The body - or main content - of an email is injected into the wrapper at the time of sending.
More information about modifying the wrapper is available at:
