Hello,

 

I try to add a custom placeholder in a template for a recurring compensation element, but it’s not working.

I tried with {{Name Allowance}} and with {{Name Allowance (Recurring)}} (as it is the label used in custom reports), but it doesn’t recognize the element.

Any advise?

 

Thank you!

I also tried {{Salary / Name allowance}}, but this also doesn’t work.

Hi @Kevin G,

Thank you for your community question! The attributes names of placeholders are not always linked to the names of the Custom reports. 
In this article you will find a list of: Predefined placeholder

The system only takes:

-Predefined System Placeholders
-Custom Placeholders
-Free Placeholders

In order for the system to recognise a Custom Placeholder you will have to first create this attribute here:  Settings > People > Employee Information



After you have created this attribute, you can use the exact name in the Placeholder. 

For example: 



Once again thank you for your community question. In this article you will find more information regarding on how to create an attribute.

Hi Sofia,

 

Thank you for your reply. So you confirm that it is not possible to create custom placeholders for recurring compensation elements, only for attributes in the personal info.

 

Kind regards,

Hi @Kevin G,

Thank you for your reply. We have indeed no Predefined System Placeholders for recurring compensation elements, in this case you can make a new attribute in Settings > People > Employee Information
After that you can add the amount into this attribute and then create the Custom placeholder with the exact name.
