Smarty syntax for forms

The templates for PDF print and e-mail forms are stored in the form editor under the menu item System - Documents.

The placeholders that are visible in the database view are output using the Smarty syntax. This syntax enables a flexible design of the forms. You can find extensive documentation on Smarty here: Smarty Documentation.

Variables (placeholders)

All variables are listed in the database view with a content preview. You can use these variables as you wish in the template to display dynamic content.
