What are the different invitations and how do I configure their text?

There are four different kinds of invitation email that an individual can receive from Jiglu.

System invitation

This is the invitation that an individual will receive when they are not yet a user of the system but are invited to register. This invitation will be sent if you go to Users -> Invite users by email address.

These are the elements that make up the invitation:

1. This is the name of the individual being invited. If you did not include their name on the form after their email address then this line will not appear.
2. This is the name of the system. You can configure this by going to System settings -> System identity -> System name.
3. This is the invitation message that the person sending the invitation wrote. The default message can be configured by going to System settings -> User notifications -> Default personal invitation message.
4. This is the standard text that gets sent with every invitation containing the URL where they can register. You can configure this by going to System settings -> User notifications -> System invitation message.
5. This is the footer. The help part is not configurable. Beneath this can be a footer added to all emails from the system. This can be configured by going to System settings -> Email other processing -> Footer.
