Alarm Notification Templates and DialerLocation have been moved from Settings.Dynamic to the default languages file (en.csv). To find a template phrase in the Languages panel of the Application Properties dialog, use the View button to display the Key column. Template phrases use the original property names as keys.
You may still use these properties in [System] section of your Settings.Dynamic file, but you must insert them using the Advanced mode of the Edit Properties dialog. The property will take precedence over the phrase in the language file.
Alternatively, you may create localized template values as properties of a parent Context tag.
Template to be used for the subject line of alarm acknowledgment messages sent through email by the Alarm Notification System.

The %C token in a template can only obtain numeric and text values, not complex values. If a numeric or string value that exists inside a complex value needs to be included in an alarm notification, an AlarmTemplateHookC module will need to be created that returns this value.
The Custom field can be set in a variety of ways:
- In the Commission() call via the Custom field of the Alarm Configuration record.
- In the EvaluateAlarm() call via the Custom parameter
- In any Alarm<Action>Hook module by setting the Custom field of the TransactionInfo structure.
