About Variables

Variables allow you to use data entered into the system in emails and screen messages. A variable when used MUST be surrouned by the variable brackets. I.e. [EMAIL_FROM] is is a valid variable while EMAIL_FROM is not.

Note: Not all variables will be avalable for every screen message or email. Please see the help for the field in question for a list of variables applicable for a particular field. Using a variable that is undefined for a field will output the raw form of the variable. E.g. "[SOME_VARIABLE]" instead of the desired result.
