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
