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:

• You can enable the new setting called Enable New Variable Syntax by navigating to Global Settings > System tab. Both the old and new syntaxes can be used concurrently if both are enabled.
