General information on custom attributes
A Custom attribute is a placeholder that can take on a different value depending on the assignment (user, template, draft, shop).
General information
Custom attributes exist in different places in the printformer and can be edited/overwritten separately. (Each admin-user can maintain the data themselves).
printformer > User > User attributes
printformer > Publish > Templates > Custom attributes
printformer > Publish > Drafts > Draft attributes
printformer > Shop > Products > Attributes
printformer > Shop > Orders > Attributes
The assignment is made via the client selection. This allows a custom attribute to be assigned to one or more clients. A default value is defined, which can then be customised for each User/Template/Draft/shop. For example, if the user attribute Location is added and set as the default Berlin, this value appears for all selected clients. However, you can also customise this value for a user, for example, via the user administration. (Once a user attribute has been defined, values can be assigned individually for each user).
The DataKeys created here can also be used as placeholders, for example in the job ticket or in e-mail templates. (Notation: ${pf-ca-DataKey})
