Customize a Communication Task Message
You can customize the message HTML and CSS for all communication tasks. You can also customize the header of the survey (the name of the SOC), but cannot customize actual surveys.
Customize the SOC Name#
The default SOC name is Your SOC team. To change the default SOC name:
Navigate to Settings -> About -> Troubleshooting -> Server Configuration.
Add the key soc.name, and add the display name of your SOC as the value. This name is used in the default message and email of the communication tasks, and the web survey for all communication tasks.
For example: soc.name: Acme SOC
Data Collection Task#
