Hi @sushmachava ,

Created by is a system created (OOB) string field type and populated when record is inserted to database (i wouldn't recommend to change this logic to display Name instead user id)

Can you use Opened by instead >> ${opened_by} which gives Name.

Thank you,

Hemanth

Hi @sushmachava 

You need to query the user table with user id details and get the name.

Write a mail script with below logic and include in body of the notification.

  var grSysUser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
    grSysUser.addEncodedQuery("user_name=" + current.sys_created_by);
    grSysUser.query();
    if (grSysUser.next())
        template.print("Application" + current.name + "created by " + grSysUser.name + " with MRC Accreditation " + current.u_mrc_acc);

Scripting for email notifications
