Template Context

In addition to the standard Jinja2 filters, the following additional elements are available in the template context.

These values are available whatever the Template's scope. Each scope then adds the objects that scope reports on — the Draft, the Project, or the rows of a listing:

• Draft Home Template Context
• Project Home Template Context
• Project Ticket Template Context
• Draft Object List Template Context

Name	Description	Example
checksum	The fingerprint value for the document. Every document template has a unique fingerprint which is calculated from its definition. Including the fingerprint in a document can provide assurance that a validated version of the document template has been used to generate a particular document.	Checksum : {{ checksum }}
convert_html	A filter function which attempts to turn HTML content into equivalent Word Document formats for display. Only available in Word Document Templates	{{ field.PreText|convert_html }}
GENERATED_AT	A python date/time object in UTC timezone representing the start date/time of the document generation task. See Python Date Formats.	Created at: {{ GENERATED_AT | timezone(USER_TIMEZONE_NAME) | format_datetime('%Y-%m-%d') }}
IS_TEST	A boolean representing whether the document template is being run in test mode from the document template editor.	{% if IS_TEST %}RUNNING IN TEST MODE{% endif %}
len	The python len() function. Returns the length of a list or string	{% if len(fields) > 10 %}...{% endif %}
project_role_for_user(user)	project_role_for_user(user) takes a User object and returns the User Project Role that the user has in this Project.	Hello {{ user.username }} your role in the project is {{ project_role_for_user(user).name }}
user_by_id(id)	user_by_id(id) takes the value of a User Custom Property and returns the User it names, so you can show the person's name and email address rather than the stored number. It returns nothing when the property has no value, when the person no longer exists, or when they do not work in this Organization, so test the result before using it.	{% set owner = user_by_id(form.properties['form owner'].value) %} {% if owner %}Owner: {{ owner.username }} ({{ owner.email }}){% endif %}
now()	now() function returns a python DateTime object representing the current server time with UTC timezone. See Python Date Formats.	Time is now: {{ now() | format_datetime(('%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S') }}
settings	A python dictionary of the values the user chose in the generation dialog, keyed by the Setting's Name. Every Setting defined on the Template is present, holding its Default when the user did not change it. See Template Settings.	{{ settings.get("form_order") }}
template_name	The name of the Document Template being executed.	Template: {{ template_name }}
timezone	Converts a datetime value into the timezone provided. See List of Time Zones.	User Time : {{ now()|timezone(USER_TIMEZONE_NAME)|format_datetime('%Y-%m-%d') }} Time in NY : {{ now()|timezone("America/New_York")|format_datetime('%Y-%m-%d') }}
user	The User object for the user running the report.	Run by {{ user.username }}
USER_TIMEZONE_NAME	The name of the timezone of the user running the document template. e.g. Europe/London See List of Time Zones.	Timezone : {{ USER_TIMEZONE_NAME }}
