Customization Basics

Customizations to Alma letters are generally made in the XSLT or to the labels for the specific notification, or in one of the component files. Specifically customizations may be made to the:

  • Included XSL Files: If you want to customize the header, sender/receiver information, mail reason, footer, or style you would do so in the respective included XSL files (header.xslsenderReceiver.xsl, etc.).

  • Main Template: If you want to customize the overall structure of the HTML document or the way the loan information is displayed, you would do so in the main template within this XSLT document.

  • Called Templates: If you want to customize the styles or the content of the different parts of the HTML body, you would do so in the templates that are called within the body element (headsenderReceivertoWhomIsConcernedlastFooter).

  • Labels: The text in labels can be easily modified or togged on/off to quickly customize the language in a notification.
