In-Line Dynamic Text

Add Dynamic Fields Within Paragraphs to Prevent Sentence Breaks

In-line dynamic text fields let you combine dynamic and fixed text in a single paragraph. This keeps the text consistent and prevents unwanted breaks.

For example, you can write a sentence like: *“The course took place from until .”*

Both dates are dynamic fields, so they change for each recipient.Group 24874

How to add in-line dynamic fields?

Virtualbadge.io templates don’t include in-line dynamic fields by default, so you need to add them yourself.

  1. Open the Dyn. Content tab: in the Designer menu, select Dyn. Content. You’ll see all the dynamic fields you’ve created for your certificate. (Need help creating dynamic fields? See Dynamic Text.)
  2. Copy the dynamic field: choose the field you want to add (for example, Issue Date) and click the Copy icon.

  3. Insert the dynamic field: in your design preview, click the text field where the dynamic field should appear and paste it into the text. The dynamic field appears in curly brackets, like this: .

Note: typing curly brackets into a text field by hand doesn’t turn it into a dynamic field.

4. Preview the text: to see the text without curly brackets, turn on the toggle to display placeholders of dynamic fields.

5. Manage placeholders: to edit placeholder text, hover over the dynamic field and click the three vertical dots.

Note: placeholder text can’t be edited for all pre-defined dynamic fields.
