2, GUIDELINES FOR DYNAMIC FIELDS

Dynamic Field is the information display or button/action that PerformFlow creates automatically in the sending emails in workflow if you insert it. For example, <<Form Response Table>> is the table including questions and answers of submissions PerformFlow creates automatically.

Dynamic Field will be recognized as in marker: << >>

Please find details in the table below of what can be customized:

Field	Description
<<Request Number>>	Request Number
<<Form Name>>	Title of Form
<<Respondent Email>>	Email address of Form Respondent
<<Form Response Table>>	Table including questions and answers of submissions (Email content only)
<<Approval Actions>>	Showing 3 buttons: Approve/Reject & Comment, One-click Approve, One-click Reject.
<<Document Button>>	Button to open generated document. Label of button changes depend on each role: Can view, can edit, can comment
<<Approval Status>>	Approval Status Table of Recipients (Email content only – Apply for Approval Workflow Mode and Combine Mode)
<<Edit Response URL>>	Link to modify submission
<<Response Sheet URL>>	Link to Response Sheet (Spreadsheet)
<<Request Date>>	Submission time
<<Overall Status>>	Overall status of request. (Apply for Approval Workflow Mode and Combine Mode)

Note:

Caps lock or lower case is not distinguished in dynamic field.
For example: <<Request Number>> and <<request number>> is the same.
If there is any dynamic field available, you should keep it default.
For example: <<Request Number>> or <<Respondent Email>>
If you delete any field or enter wrongly the text (adding extra comma, typo, etc), the flow cannot work.
For example: <<form response table => lack of >>
Or <<form response table>> => extra comma

We would highly recommend you copy exactly the dynamic fields in this table in your Edit Email Template Dialog.

Each mode can be inserted with particular dynamic fields but not all fields, you can check it here to insert accurately:

Mode	Fields That Can Be Applied
Approval Workflow Only	<<Approval Status>> <<Request Date>> <<Form Response Table >> <<Approval Status >> <<Approval Actions>> <<Form Name >> <<Overall Status>> <<Respondent Email >> <<Edit Response Url >> <<Response Sheet Url>>
