Introduction to data helpers

A Data Helper can be used within email, document and SMS templates to output custom content based on the data of a matter.

They can also be used within quote calculators to output custom Fees.

Rules:

  • They always start with a #
  • They are always encased within two curly brackets {{ }} that specify the start and end of the helper
