You can sometimes customise the text that appears in a tab using CustomHTML values. The CustomHTML values can contain:
- regular text
- HTML tags including hyperlinks, images and tables
- replaceable fields
- Include files.
Note: CustomHTML values have a limit of approximately 1000 words. If you need to display a lot of text on a tab, use an Include file. See Using Include files in the Community Portal Configuration manual.
Replaceable fields
Replaceable fields are placeholders for values that are read from the database according to which user is viewing the page. For example, {LoggedInUserName} tells the portal to display the user name of the logged in user. If the user name was John Smith, the CustomHTML "Welcome, {UserName}." would display "Welcome, John Smith." The following replaceable fields can be used in any CustomHTML setting.
