Tokens
A token is a placeholder for a value. For example, inserting the date token into a document's Date field will insert today's date. All tokens are in the format %(Token), where Token represents the type of token being used. For instance, the date token is represented as %(Date). Tokens can be placed in fields by manually typing in the specific token syntax or by using the token button to the right of the field to choose a token from the token list.
Tokens Available in the Laserfiche App Token List
%(Count)
- Session Count: A sequential number every time an entry is created or imported into the Laserfiche app. By default, this token starts at 1.
%(GCount)
- Repository Count: A sequential number added every time an entry is created or imported into a Laserfiche Server. By default, this token starts at 1. For example, Bob and Jim each create a document and use this token. The server count is 3 because the server starts with 1 and each user created a document.
