Alert Configuration in XI

On the Container tab page, 

Define any variables that you may want to use in the short text or long text. You can also define other application-specific variables, such as company code or material number. These variables are then replaced at runtime with values from the application. It is therefore the interface between the application that triggers the alert and the central Alert Framework.
