Placeholders

Placeholders

A placeholder may refer to a:

• Field Placeholder : An identifier representing a value to be inserted at runtime into a placeholder field in a template.

  E. g. The certificate date/title/UID.

• Bulk Placeholder : A column in the CSV file being used for bulk certificate generation that doesn't correspond to any of the values for the fields in the template being used, but instead depicts a separate property to be specified for the certificate(s) to be generated.

  E. g. The certificates' title.

Field Placeholders

Field placeholders are identifiers representing a value to be used for the given placeholder field upon rendering.

The following rules apply to placeholder properties:

• All placeholder fields must have the property placeholder set to true in the template.
• The value of the placeholder field in the template must represent a valid field placeholder in Rema.
• The value may not be overridden upon certificate generation.
• The value can be hidden for individual certificates by setting hidden: true. However, this isn't possible for bulk certificate generation; In such circumstances, extending the template to create a custom template is recommended.

The following field placeholders are available in Rema:

• TEMPLATE_TITLE
• TEMPLATE_DATE
• CERTIFICATE_TITLE
• CERTIFICATE_DATE
• CERTIFICATE_UID

TEMPLATE_TITLE

Type	String
Description	The corresponding template's title.

TEMPLATE_DATE

Type	Date
Description	The date the corresponding template was last updated.

CERTIFICATE_TITLE

Type	String
Description	The certificate's title.

CERTIFICATE_DATE

Type	Date
Description	The date the certificate was created.

CERTIFICATE_UID

Type	String
Description	The certificate's UID.

Bulk Placeholder

Bulk placeholders are columns added to the CSV file during bulk certificate generation that are used to perform additional operations on the certificates.

Currently, Rema only supports the following bulk placeholder:

• TITLE

TITLE

Type	String
Description	The certificate's title.
Default	Certificate (used when left empty in the CSV)
