If I upload a logo file to the process flow server is there a url I can use in the HTML email to display it?

If you build your email with the HTML flag checked you might be able to put the address of the logo file as a reference but I don't know if the file can reside on the Lawson server for that to work.

I have done this ... We are using a style sheet that is stored in the PFREPOSITORY and pulling that with a file access node. I then drop that into the email at the beginning as the < style >. That gets included with the email when "created"...

However, I found that putting a graphic in the email required me to put the graphic in a shared folder that was shared with all users. Then it would display when they pulled their email up. We did not embed the picture into the email - it is added to the email when "viewed". HOWEVER, this will not work if the user is connecting from outside of your network. For example, if you have OWA they will get the red x where the picture should have been. For it to work with OWA you might need to have a solution where the graphic is accessible through the internet instead of your network.

Note: your user will probably need to click download graphics when viewing the email if it is grabing the graphic from the internet somewhere - depending on your I.S. security policies.

Here is an example from one of my production flows:
One You Logo

(The globalResources is a share on the server that is open to all users.)
