Template variables are prefixed with a "$" (to indicate that this is a variable and not a plain text value) followed by a short text string identifying the object (e.g., "org"), then an underscore ("_"). The rest of the variable consists of a short but meaningful text string that identifies the data field, such as ('name'). The variable name is frequently based on the name of the database column, so you can often match the variable up with data fields in reports. Some examples are '$org_name' (the name of your organization), '$showcase_name' (the name of your showcase), '$p_name' ('$p_' identifies a profile variable, so this is a profile name), '$c_name' ('$c_' identifies a catalog item variable, so this is a catalog item name).

The variables documented here are available by default in Kavi Showcase page text and email templates. Your website may use custom variables that represent custom fields in your organization's database. These variables aren't documented here, but should be recognizable because they conform to the standard formats we just described: a prefix followed by a short-but-meaningful text string. Each custom variable corresponds to a custom field that can be retrieved through reports, so you can consult Kavi Showcase reports for more information on these fields.
