Kavi® Showcase Help
Table of Contents
Kavi Showcase provides an extensive set of predefined data fields and these can be extended by the addition of custom fields. This document provides information about the most important default Profile data fields. Depending on configuration, you may not see all the fields listed here and you may also see fields that are not listed here, including fields that are custom to your organization.
Note
Kavi Showcase automatically adds an email template variable for every field and makes the field available through report tools.
