Hi,
I reviewed your post "[2019-09-27 09:35:18 GMT, FTH Developer] More variables have been added for your use in Agenda Emails." To test out all variables, I updated my test file bo be as below. It looks like some variables (FN caps, LN caps, caward, laward, and awards) only work within the scope of generating a name tag, while others might be confined to the scope of an agenda e-mail and/or Basic e-mail setting. Is this the case, where certain variables are only available in specific contexts?
Next, I can't figure out what the nextmtgcount and nextmtgordinal variables represent. When I, in the meeting agenda context, send the field test e-mail, those fields showed nextmtgcount: 127 and nextmtgordinal: 127th. What do "127" and "127th" mean?
It seems that an explanation (including scope) of all available variables would be worthwhile to include in the documentation.

Regards.

The only variables that are valid for a particular context are those that are in the drop-down list or pop-up associated with that context.

1. I will not be making all variables available for all context.
__Reason: Variables that associated with a particular member's name or a particular meeting would have no meaning when inserted in a general web page. (specific examples for illustration)

2. There are really three categories of variables, at this time:
__a. Information about a particular member.
__b. Information about a particular meeting.
__c. General club/website information.

__> There may be other variables added in the future for these categories. We also have variables for dues notices, but unfortunately, those are (currently) totally separate and implemented completely differently.

3. I am very reluctant to make commitments about what variables will or will not be added. In fact, some could be eliminated in the future. (Think {{caward}} & {{laward}}, for example, which do not work with Pathways.)

4. nextmtgcount: 127 and nextmtgordinal: 127th are just related to a count of many meetings (agendas) your club has in the system. e.g., "Meeting # 127" or "127th Meeting".

5. I think we would be happy for any kind of documentation contributions you would like to make related to this.
