  2. Choose a field from the Category
    Fields - Contains the fields available in the selected category.
  3. The variable name is displayed. For example:
    Variable field: $user.full_name
  4. Copy the variable name from the field and paste it into your template or email.

Date and Time Fields

The Date and Time category contains:

  • Current Date:
    Inserts $today, which displays the date in the standard format.
    On June 24, 2011 the date would be displayed as "24 June, 2011".
  • Current Date User Date Format:
    Inserts $today_dateformatted, which uses the format set by the user, or by default, the format set for the company.
