Many of our administrators have been asking for the ability to include Extended Profile Properties and other information in Certificates, Group Pages, Welcome Letters and Assignment Descriptions. Including this additional information allows our customers to more deeply customize their student's experience in NexPort. Descriptions of available fields can be found by using the help link next to the editors for Assignment Description  and Group Pages. Descriptions for the new Certificate Fields can be found in the Administrator Help Documentation.

Making Your Templates Smart

Group pages and assignment templates allow for the use of Velocity Template Language (VTL) syntax. Using VTL you can hide or display parts of a template based on student information, the date or any other variable. Here is an example:

#if($currentUser.MembershipGroups.ContainsKey('BORG'))

       YES!!! There is a membership in the main organization.

#end
Your Groups
#foreach( $group in $currentUser.MembershipGroups.Values )

         $group.ShortName

#end

With VTL you are only limited by your imagination. VTL support is available in most Rich Text editors in NexPort Campus. VTL is not yet supported in Certificates. Learn more about using VTL on the VTL Website.
