Tag Replacements

Replacement Tags

Replacement tags are special strings ment for emails and some other special places. They allow you to make text templates that have tags that will be replaced with contextual data at the time of sending or display to the user/attendee. For example:

Hello {{reg_full_name}},

    Thank you for ...

Will be replaced with:

Hello Jane Smith,

    Thank you for ...

Complex Tags

Complex tags are special tags that allow you to specify more complex replacements. Currently, there is only one complex tag available. More may be added in the future if requested by customers.

Complex tags have multiple parts separated by the "|" symbol. The usage is {{ tag_type | option 1...|option n }} without any spaces. The number of options is defined by the tag type.

User Defined Field Tags

This complex tag allows you to make use of data from the User Defined Field system in Convention Master.

Usage: {{ udf | udf_number | [optional: "value" or "title"] }}   without spaces.
 

The first part "udf" is the tag name and is required to work. The "udf_number" is the id number of the UDF which can be found in the UDF Admin menu. Replace "udf_number" with the integer id of the desired UDF.

The third argument is optional (defaults to "answer" when not specified) and has two valid inputs:

• "answer" - Tag will return the current answer of this UDF for the registrant uid of the context. (the reciepient of the email or the kiosk user)
• "title" - Tag will return the title of the UDF (generally the question itself)

 {{udf|12}} outputs the registrant's answer to UDF 12. 
  
 {{udf|12|title}} outputs the title of UDF 12. 
  
 {{udf|12|answer}} outputs the registrant's answer to UDF 12.
