**Email Headers and Footers** in OPSCOM allow administrators to define and manage reusable layout components for system-generated emails. By customizing these elements, you can ensure consistent branding, provide essential contact information, and apply uniform styling across all your automated email communications, creating a professional and cohesive user experience.
### Using this Feature Email Headers & Footers are managed through a dedicated section within **System Configuration**. 1. Hover over **System Configuration,** then **Contents & Design,** and click **Email Headers & Footers**. The **Email Template Layout List** page displays the various sections of your email layouts (e.g., Header, Footer, Style). From here, you can select and edit the individual components that make up your email layouts.

Use responsive design principles or simple layouts for best compatibility. - **Inline Styling**: While the editor allows inline styles, for more complex or sitewide styling changes, coordinating with OPSCOM Support for custom CSS in the "Style" template might be beneficial. - **Testing Changes**: After making any modifications to headers, footers, or styles, always test the email templates that use these layouts. Send a test email to yourself to ensure everything renders correctly in various email clients. - **Global Impact**: Remember that changes made to these layout templates will affect **all** email templates that are configured to use them.
