Using Templates in a Message Control

Controls in your forms/flows that are dynamically populated can be included in the message text by using templates. The templates in the Message control are replaced with the values in these controls at runtime. For example, let's say you have a Product Order form with controls for the customer to select the product, color, size and select the option to include a gift card. When the order is complete, you want to display a message to the customer recapping the order. The image shows the control templates in the message text in the designer and the form at runtime. A business rule hides the Message control until the order is complete.

Use the Custom JavaScript feature to upload the JavaScript to each application or to your tenant. frevvo recommends uploading the JavaScript to the tenant so that it will be available to all designers and all applications.

If you choose to include custom fonts in the HTML markup added to the Message Control property, contact the vendor to obtain the exact HTML needed.
If you choose to add custom font(s) to the Message Control Rich Text Editor, contact the font vendor for the correct value to use for the font name in the frevvo.message.rte.extra.fonts configuration property.

HTML Markup

Follow these steps to use HTML markup:

Upload custom JavaScript to dynamically load custom fonts to each application or on the to your tenant level. The custom JavaScript will vary depending on the fonts that you are using. You may have to contact the vendor for specific instructions when writing the script.
