Custom Variables
System administrators can create custom macros for use in for example
custom Configuration Templates.
Note
- The macro needs to be evaluated at the hierarchy that it is created.
- The same macro variable can be defined to have different values at different hierarchies.
- Choose Advanced Tools > Custom Variables and click Add.
- Enter the macro name, optional description and value. The name must be prefixed with CV_.
For details on macro syntax, refer to the "Advanced Configuration Guide".
- Click Save.
To test the macro, enter it in the macro evaluator at Administration Tools > Macro Evaluator.
Example
Create:
CV_current_time
Current time is: {{ fn.now }}
Invoke:
{{ macro.CV_current_time }}
Output example:
Current time is: 2017-03-31 13:20:18.509871
