Simon User Guide
Report Templates
Change
This page has information about the Change block, and variables valid within this scope. See the Report Templates page for more information about Simon's report templates.
The Change block includes variables about a change - i.e. values displayed in Simon's Monitor window in the changes table.
Variables are tags in the file that are replaced by another value when the report is used. Variables are enclosed in curly braces, and have a variable name optionally followed by any number of parameters, e.g. {difference length="100"}. See the parameters page for information on the available parameters.
The variables that are available in this scope include:
| Variable: | Outputs: |
| Date | The date and time of the change. |
| Difference | Text used for the Smart Change Detection feature (old name; new templates should use DifferenceWithHTML instead). Recommend using the length parameter to truncate it to a suitable size. |
| DifferenceWithHTML | Text used for the Smart Change Detection feature, with HTML tags included. Recommend using the length parameter to truncate it to a suitable size. |
| DifferenceWithoutHTML | Text used for the Smart Change Detection feature, with HTML tags stripped out. Recommend using the length parameter to truncate it to a suitable size. |
