Overview
The Variable Processor in SmartSimple dynamically replaces variable references e.g.
{{firstname}}
with actual values (e.g., John). These variable references can be used throughout the system, allowing the same data to appear consistently in multiple locations. Previously, variable syntax used the @ symbol as part of the reference. However, this approach is not compatible with the rich text editor. To address this, we are introducing a new syntax that uses
{{ }}
instead of the @ symbol.
Below is a table outlining the changes. Note:
- The new syntax is currently in development and must be enabled by the SmartSimple team for your system.
- During this transition, both syntaxes can be used while the new format undergoes testing and refinement.
