These variables are defined for each skin in LocalSettings.php.
They are case-insensitive.

Global Variables

Application names (because marketing can change them):

Variable	Definition	Value in Current Domain	Usage
HD	name of the "HelpDesk" application	ServiceDesk	`{{HD}}`

Version Variables

Variable	Value
`{{MySqlVersion}}`	5.5
`{{VelocityVersion}}`	1.7

Skin-Specific Variables

Variable Name	Definition	Value in Current Domain	Usage
Skin	Abbreviated name	HD	`{{#if {{Skin}}\|name\|...\|...else...}}`
Domain	Used in the platformURL template	{yourDomain}	Create platform links using `{{platformURL}}`, instead of `https://...`
platformURL	Template:platformURL Link used to access the platform	https://{yourDomain}/networking	`{{platformURL}}`
BrandLabel	Label used in plugin GUIs (Eclipse, Outlook,...)	LongJump	`{{BrandLabel}}`
EnterpriseBrand	Name of the platform	AgileApps Cloud platform	`{{EnterpriseBrand}}`
BrandName	Template:BrandName Advertised brand	AgileApps Cloud	`{{BrandName}}`
TrainingLink	A link for training sessions.		`{{#if {{TrainingLink}} \| [{{TrainingLink}} Platform Training]}}`
WhitepapersLink	Future. Defined the same way as "TrainingLink", so it is easy to change.

Booleans
ShowWhitepapers	Show whitepapers?	(empty=false) (Fixed branding)	`{{#if {{ShowWhitepapers}} \| ...}}`
ShowOutlookSync	Show info related to Outlook Sync & Email Edition Plugin?	(empty=false)	`{{#if {{ShowOutlookSync}} \| ...}}`
ShowIsvInfo	Show info only ISVs care about	(empty=false)	`{{#if {{ShowIsvInfo}} \| ...}}`
ShowMspInfo	Show info only MSPs care about	(empty=false)	`{{#if {{ShowMspInfo}} \| ...}}`
PlatformAdminInfo	Show tenant configuration	true (empty=false)	`{{#if {{PlatformAdminInfo}} \| ...}}`
ShowInstallInfo	Show info for installers	true (empty=false)	`{{#if {{ShowInstallInfo}} \| ...}}`

Variable Combinations

Use this pattern to conditionalize information intended for all Service Providers (both ISVs and MSPs):

{{#if: {{ShowIsvInfo}} {{ShowMspInfo}} |
__Info for all Service Providers (LJ and ISV domains)__
}}

Note: Information intended for both is generally conditioned using ShowIsvInfo--whether or not that was a wise choice remains TBD. So the combination above isn't strictly necessary.

Use this pattern if it is necessary to distinguish information intended for ISVs (which may mention MSPs) from information intended for MSPs, in Wiki versions that do not include ISV info (e.g. Relationals):

{{#if: {{ShowIsvInfo}} |
__ISV info (ISV DOMAIN) __

| <!-- HideIsvInfo -->
{{#if: {{ShowMspInfo}} |
__MSP info (LJ DOMAIN)__
}}}}
