UTA Level 1 variables called from UTA Level 2
If your Web Page View is at Level 2, you can call Level 1 variables using:
@parent.fieldname@ or @parent.#fieldid#@ (Note: All field names should be entirely lower case.)
Example: @parent.status@ or @parent.startdate@ or @parent.#12345#@
UTA Level 2 variables called from UTA Level 3
When working at Level 3, you can call Level 2 variables using:
@parent.fieldname@ or @parent.#fieldid#@ (Note: All field names should be entirely lower case.)
UTA Level 1 variables called from UTA Level 3
If your Web Page View is at Level 3, you can call Level 1 variables using:
@parent.parent.fieldname@ or @parent.parent.#fieldid#@ (Note: All field names should be entirely lower case.)
Level 3 Associated Parent (Opportunity)
Where Payment Allocation is enabled you have two models to choose from before configuring: usually the Associated Parent is a Funding Stream of Overall Budget (event) and the associated object is the Disbursement (Level 3). In less granular cases the Associated Parent is the opportunity.
Level 3 Associated Parent
If Payment Allocation is enabled, you can pull fields from the Associated Parent using the following variable:
@linkparent.fieldname@
If your associated payment is linked to the event you can pull fields from the opporunity using the following variable:
@linkparent.parent.fieldname@ So @linkparent.parent.branch@ will return: SmartSimple Inc.
On the company/branch:
@linkparent.parent.branch.Transit@ will return: 1950

Level 1 Contacts/Accounts
Individual
To display information for a single contact/account in the Level 1 contacts/accounts section:
- @contact.rolename.fieldname@ or @company.rolename.fieldname@
where:
- rolename = the name of the role that has been assigned to the contact/account on the Level One item
- fieldname = the name of the field that is located on the contact's record.
Example:
@contact.adjuster.firstname@ or @company.funding agency.address@
Note: if there is more than one contact/account assigned with the rolename specified, only one will be displayed.
List
To display a list of multiple contacts/accounts in the Level 1 contacts/accounts section:
- [#(?object=contact) ~fieldname~ #] or [#(?object=company) ~fieldname~ #]
See below for details on how to filter and sort the list(s).
- Note: to display the role that the contact or account is assigned on the Level 1 record use: ~role~
- Note: to display the name of the contact's company use: ~companyname~
Level 2 Contacts/Accounts
Individual
To display information for a single contact in the Level 2 contacts section:
- @contacts.rolename.fieldname@
where:
- rolename = the name of the role that has been assigned to the contact on the Level Two item
- fieldname = the name of the field that is located on the contact's record.
Example:
@contacts.adjuster.firstname@
Note: if there is more than one contact assigned with the rolename specified, only one will be displayed.
Contacts
To display a list of the contacts assigned at Level 2:
- [#(?object=contact) ~firstname~ ~lastname~ ~email~ #]
To display only contacts assigned at Level 2 with a specific role/roles (only relevant if the Level 2 Multiple Contact List is enabled)
- [#(?object=contact::criteria=roleid=12345) ~firstname~ ~lastname~ ~email~ #]
To get the intersection record identifier (equivalent to ~oprid~ at Level 1) (i.e. for use in Pandora functions)
- [#(?object=contact) ~lnkid~ #]
To display the contact's profile status:
- [#(?object=contact) ~firstname~ ~lastname~ ~ustatusid~ #]
Notes:
- Contacts at level 2 cannot be filtered by rolename, only roleid
- If the multiple contact list is enabled use ~role~ to display the assigned role.
Accounts
To display information for a single account in the Level 2 accounts section:
- @companies.rolename.fieldname@
To display a list of the companies assigned at Level 2:
- [#(?object=company::orderby=name)~name~ #]

- [#(?object=company) ~clnkid~ #]
Notes:
- The Account standard field is only available at Level 2 when the Multiple Account list is enabled. See here for details.
To display Level 1 Company Role or Contact Role custom fields
[#(?object=company;)$?opc_customfieldid$#] or [#(?object=contact;)$?opr_customfieldid$#]
where:
- customfieldid = the numeric id of the custom field
Note: for level 2 records (when the multiple contact/company list(s) are enabled) use $?opr2_customfieldid$ and $?opc2_customfieldid$
Following the same format above, you can also reference custom fields on the company role using the @#field id#@ syntax.
Contact Detail
~uprefix~ ~firstname~ ~lastname~
~uaddress~ ~uaddress2~
~ucity~, ~ustate~ ~upostalcode~
To display Company Association or Contact Association fields
The syntax for extracting information on the entity to which they are associated is as follows . . .
[#(?object=association)~name~ ~standard field name~ $?afc_custom field id$ $?afc_custom field name$#]
[#(?object=companyassociation)~standard field name~ $custom field id$ $custom field name$#]
where:
- standard field name = name of the standard field
- custom field id = the numeric id of the custom field
- custom field name = the name of the custom field
The syntax for extracting information on fields that are on the intersection, rather than the entity to which they are associated, is as follows . . .
[#(?object=association) ~afcompanyid~ #]
[#(?object=companyassociation)~afroleid~ #]
Other intersection specific variables options include:
- ~afcid~: association (intersection) record id.
- ~afcompanyid~: companyid of associated company
- ~afcontactid~: userid of associated contact
- ~afroleid~: roleid of association
- ~afstartdate~: start date of association
- ~afenddate~: end date of association
Role Based Custom Fields
When you have a Custom Field such as a Web Page View or MS Word Merge that is located on a User Role or Company Role you can access:
UTA Level 1 Information:
- @levelone.fieldname@ or @levelone.customfieldid@
Contact Information:
- @contact.fieldname@ or @contact.customfieldid@
Company Information:
- @company.fieldname@ or @company.customfieldid@
When you want to refer to a User Role based Custom Field from a UTA Level 1 record use the following syntax: Owner:
- @owner.fieldname@
Person:
- @person.fieldname@
Contact:
- @contact.rolename.fieldname@
- where rolename is the role they are assigned on the Level 1 record
To Display a List of Activities, Notes, Transactions, Contacts, Companies, Consumers, Providers
Syntax
[#(?object=objectname::{options})~standardfieldname~ $customfieldname$#]
- Where:
- objectname is the name of the item to be listed.
- Either: address, activity, assign, contact, user, group, company, notes, association, companyassociation, transaction, timesheet, level-1, utaproviderL1, utaproviderL2, utaconsumerL1, utaconsumerL2 or linkactivity
-
- standardfieldname is the name of a standard field (between tildes, ~)
- customfieldname is the name of a custom field (between dollar signs, $)
Notes:
- You can refer to Custom Fields in the list using the Custom Field ID instead of the field name, still between dollar signs ($12345$)
- level-1 can only be used as an object when referenced from a contact record. Also level-1 will only list the level 1s that the contact has been added to in the contacts section.
- You can include text as well as variables within the [#...#] syntax.
- When using this syntax for Web Page Views, Read Only – System Variables etc. you will usually want to include HTML table formatting within the [#...#] syntax (see examples below). For MS Word Merge custom fields the table defined on the MS Word Template document, with the columns delimited by pipes (|) within the [#...#].
- ~Index~ can be used to number the lines (1, 2, 3...) Note: ~index~ does not work for all lists. For example, it cannot be used when listing contacts associated with a Level 1.
- ~Index~ (upper case 'I') starts numbering at 1, ~index~ (lower case 'i') starts numbering at 0.
~eventid~ will display the id of the level 2.
Options:
Option | Effect |
orderby=standardfieldname | Sorts the list in ascending order by the standard field specified |
orderby=standardfieldname desc | Sorts the list in descending order by the standard field specified |
orderby=tbl_customfieldid.valuestr | Sorts the list in ascending order by the custom field specified |
criteria=standardfieldname=value | Filters the list by the standard field and value specified |
criteria=tbl_customfieldid.valuestr=value | Filter the list by the custom field and value specified |
criteria=(standardfieldname=value or standardfieldname=value) | For multiple criteria when either conditional criteria can apply |
criteria=(standardfieldname=value AND standardfieldname=value) | For multiple criteria when both conditional criteria must apply |
groupfunction=aggregatefunction | Performs specified aggregate function on the listed fields Ex. sum, count, countdistinct |
- multiple options (i.e. a criteria and an orderby option) can be included, separated by doubled colons (::)
Important: Any custom fields that you use as criteria or orderby must appear in the display. If you do not wish to display the field you can place it in a comment. (i.e.: <!--$12343$-->) However, if referencing a field as a property of a table you must show the value.
Examples:
- To generate a list of Level 2 activities for a MS Word Merge:
[#(?object=activity)|~statusname~|~typename~|$speciality$|$123456$|#]

Example:
[#(?object=utaproviderL2) ~typename~ | ~statusname~ <br />#]
If you have multiple different UTAs connected as providers, you can use criteria to filter:
[#(?object=utaproviderL1::criteria=provappid="12345") ~typename~ | ~statusname~ <br />#]
To Format the Start Date or Start Time
- ~date_format(startdate,'%Y-%m-%d') as startdate~
- or
- ~date_format(startdate,'%h:%i %p') as starttime~
- ~date_format(startdate,'%Y-%m-%d') as startdate~
Note:
- If you wish to use "orderby=startdate", along with a date format other than yyyy-mm-dd you must use a slightly different syntax.
- Using "~date_format(startdate,'%d-%m-%Y') as startdate~" when using "orderby=startdate" will cause the date to be ordered by dd-mm-yyyy (rather than yyyy-mm-dd, which is chronological)
- To avoid this, change "date_format(startdate,'%d-%m-%Y') as startdate" to "date_format(startdate,'%d-%m-%Y') as sdate"
Displaying Both Level 2 and Level 3 Activities at Level 1
When displaying a list of Level 2 activities using the [#(?object=activity;)...#] syntax, the corresponding Level 3 activities can be displayed under each of the parent Level 2 activities.
To facilitate this you must create a Read Only - System Variable field at Level 2 that contains the list of Level 3 activities, formatted and filtered as desired.
- You can use Visibility Conditions, Role Field Permissions or Status Field Permissions to prevent the field from being displayed on the Level 2 record.
Example:
- Create a Level 2 Read Only - System Variable Custom Field called Level 3 Activity List with the following:
[@(?object=activity::orderby=typename)@]
Level 3 Activity: ~typename~ | ~location~ |
Then create either a Web Page View or Read Only - System Variable at Level 1:
[#(?object=activity::orderby=startdate) #]
Level 2 Activity: ~subject~ | ~statusname~ | ~startdate~ | ~enddate~ |
$Level 3 Activity List$ |
- where "Level 3 Activity List" is the name you gave the Read Only – System Variable field
Level 3s with Less Than 25 Fields
If Level 3 has less than 25 fields it is not necessary to create a Read Only – System Variable Custom Field on the Level 2 that lists the Level 3 activities.
Instead you can use the following syntax within the [#...#] that lists the Level 2 activities:
- [@(?object=activity)~standardfieldname~ $customfieldname$@]
Note:
- This syntax will only work if there are less than 25 fields at Level 3.
Example:
- To display a list of Level 2 activities, including any Level 3 activities under their parent Level 2 activity:
[#(?object=activity::orderby=startdate) #]
Level 2 Activity: ~subject~ | ~statusname~ | ~startdate~ | ~enddate~ | ||
[@(?object=activity;orderby=typename)@]
|
Displaying a Specific Number of Items in a List
When you want to display only specific number of activities or transactions in a Web Page View use the following syntax.
[#(?object=object::orderby=field) <!--@sslogic(~index~='num')--> ~standard field~ $custom field$ <br /> <!--@end--> #] <br />
where:
- num = number of activities that should be displayed
XML Variables
Count how many options were selected
<!--@sscalculation(@xml.XML Field.People.Person[#(?criteria="~type.nodevalue~" == "A") 1+#]@ 0)-->
Filtered XML display output

Adding a File Upload button
To display a button to upload to a Single File or Multiple Files custom field:
- Single File:
- <input class="Button" type="button" value="Button Label" />
-
- Multiple Files:
- <input class="Button" type="button" value="Button Label." />
where:
-
- customfieldid = the field id of the Single or Multiple file custom field (without cf_)
-
Example:
<input class="Button" type="button" value="Multiple files..." />
Note: if adding to a Web Page View you will need to add the following to the page:
function include_dom(script_filename) { var html_doc = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0); var js = document.createElement('script'); js.setAttribute('language', 'javascript'); js.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript'); js.setAttribute('src', script_filename); html_doc.appendChild(js); return false; } function includejsfiles() { include_dom("/validate.js"); }
You will also have to call the includejsfiles function in the body onload:
Alternatively:
You may also use @fieldname.uploadlink@ to get the url for the upload page and construct your own function to open the window.
Example:
<input class="Button" type="button" value="Upload" />
function openupload(url) { upload_window = window.open(url,'upload_window', 'menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=600,status=no,resizable=yes,dependent=yes,alwaysRaised=yes'); upload_window.opener = window; upload_window.focus(); }
Note: this method will only open the single file upload page.

How to display different content based on a value using SSlogic
To display content based on a value from a variable add <!--@sslogic('@branch.name@'='Internal Staff')--> in front of the content and <!--@end--> at the end of the content. If there are 2 different pieces of content to be displayed based on a value and all others add <!--@else--> between the 2 pieces of content.
<!--@sslogic(CONDITION)--> The content to be displayed when condition is true. This can be more than one line. <!--@end-->
- The content to be displayed (the middle line) can either be in plaintext or in HTML.
- Be sure there are single quotes around the variable and value.
- SSlogic does not support nested logic statements.
Example:
- The following will display a Christmas tree image if the month is December:
<!--@sslogic(month(now())=12)--> <img src="images/xmasstree.jpg" alt="" /> <!--@end-->
See SSlogic for more information and further examples.
