Tokens

Tokens are a way to display the value stored within a form field or property, like a variable. These are often used in Paragraph elements, Additional Content, and Print Templates within forms, and in communication templates.

Token Syntax

Tokens always have *is* surrounding the variable being referenced. Without this syntax, the variable name will simply be displayed as text.

Syntax: *is*$VariableName*is*, where $VariableName is either the name of a form field or a property

Example 1: *is*stu_FirstName*is*, where stu_FirstName is the name of a form field

Example 2: *is*Submission:DateSubmitted*is*, where Submission:DateSubmitted is the property

Token Support

Tokens referencing form fields are supported everywhere, whereas Tokens referencing properties have limited scope.

Token Index

* All dates and times in Central Time

** Property must be mapped to appropriate form field by PowerSchool Specialist

*** What each seating unit level represents is dependent on configuration

TokenDescriptionSupported Area
*is*$FieldName*is*

Stored value within a form field, where $FieldName is the name of the desired form field.

*is*OpenInvitationsSection*is*

CONTENT HERE

*is*OpenInvitationLinks*is*

*is*OpenInvitationsEndSection*is*

This series of tokens is used to conditionally display a series of links to start siblings' forms from the Submission Confirmation page of a Private form. The content will conditionally be shown if the value within PROP:ExternalFamilyID for the submitted student matches the value within PROP:ExternalFamilyID for at least one other student in the Roster who's form has not yet been started. Effectively, if the student has a sibling who's form has not yet been started, then this provides the parent easy access to start that sibling's form. **

The *is*OpenInvitationsSection*is* token is used to start the section, and the *is*OpenInvitationsEndSection*is* token is used to end the section.

"CONTENT HERE" can be replaced with any custom content desired to be shown to the parent in this scenario.

The *is*OpenInvitationLinks*is* token will generate a bullet point (unordered) list of hyperlinks to start siblings' forms, with each hyperlink text being the PROP:FirstName and PROP:LastName values for each sibling.

<% IF(*is*$FieldName*is* == '$Value') %>

CONTENT HERE

<% END %>

This syntax is used to conditionally display content to parents outside of the main form pages (which instead would be done using Show-If logic).

The <% IF(*is*$FieldName*is* == '$Value') %> syntax is used to start the section, and the <% END %> syntax is used to end the section.

The <% IF(*is*$FieldName*is* == '$Value') %> syntax is also used to define the condition that must be met in order for the content to be displayed, where $FieldName is the name of the desired form field and where $Value is the desired value.

Example: <% IF(*is*stu_Grade*is* == '9') %>

Supported evaluators:

  • "==": equals
  • "!=": does not equal

Support operators:

  • "&&": and
  • "||": or

Note: Parentheses ("(", ")") can be used to group expressions together logically.

Note: If looking for an empty value, $Value should be empty.

Example: <% IF((*is*stu_Grade*is* == 'PK' || *is*stu_Grade*is* == 'K') && *is*stu_School*is* != '' ) %>

"CONTENT HERE" can be replaced with the custom content desired to be shown to the parent in this scenario.
