Variables are an easy way of displaying ‘variable’ information that is unique to each checklist run from a template.
Every template contains a default set of variables called global variables, along with variables that represent any form fields you have added to that specific template.
Global variables are automatically generated when a template is created and are consistent across all templates.
Users: In order to create or edit templates, you must be an Administrator or a Member who has been given ‘can edit’ access by your Administrator.
You can find a list of the global variables below.
- Checklist created by (email) – {{checklist.created_by.email}}
- Checklist created by (name) – {{checklist.created_by.name}}
- Checklist created date – {{checklist.created_date}}
