Using Placeholders
In the Communication Channel settings, you can use placeholders in selected fields to insert dynamic data. These placeholders automatically fill in context-specific values, streamlining communication processes.
The module includes several built-in placeholders. If these are not sufficient for your needs, you can also program your own custom placeholders to extend the functionality. The functionality is called OnReplacePlaceholder. We have two chapters describing the functionality, one for extensions and one for FOB based installations.
The following built-in placeholders are available:
Transmission Based
These information is copied from the fields with the same name from the transmission record.
The entry number of the transmission. Can be used to generate a unique filename.
{Reference}
Not supported in older module versions. Output the reference number (document number) that is stored with the transmission. If business transactions are used it is automatically copied from the business transaction to the transmission.
The description of the transmission.
The sender partner code.
The sender partner identification.
The receiver partner code.
The receiver partner identification.
The project of the mapping that has generated the data.
The format of the mapping that has generated the data.
The code of the mapping that has generated the data.
Time Based
This information is using the current date/time of the system
{CCYY}
The year with century information, e.g. 2025.
The year, e.g. 25.
The month as two digits.
The day as two digits.
The calendar week, represented as two digits.
The quarter, represented as two digits.
The hour of the transmission creation.
The minutes of the transmission creation.
The seconds of the transmission creation.
These placeholders work in Dynamics only. For MFT please see the MFT documentation. You can use the subject to transfer dynamics data from Dynamics to the MFT and use the subject in MFT.
