Custom list parameters

You can create an unlimited number of custom parameters to be used with authorization scenarios and mail/web templates.

These parameters are defined in each list configuration through the web interface by using the form in "Admin" -> "Edit list config" -> "Miscellaneous" page. There, you add a parameter in the "custom parameters (custom_vars)" section. The "var name (name)" field corresponds to your custom parameter name, and the "var value (value)" field corresponds to your custom parameter value.

You can later access this parameter:

• in scenarios: with the variable [custom_vars->your_custom_var_name]
• in web or mail templates: with the variable [%custom_vars.your_custom_var_name%]

Example

You define a custom parameter with the following values:

• var name: sisterList
• var value: math-teachers

You can use it as follows:

• in scenarios: with the variable [custom_vars->sisterList], which will correspond to "math-teachers"
• in web or mail templates: with the variable [%custom_vars.sisterList%], which will correspond to "math-teachers"
