<<%signature>> Notes - When using notes it will take off the title before the final text is produced so you can eg call it Invite Template and it wont show in the final text. Adding Fields Simple text entry Surround anything that needs insert with << >> and put a field name in-between like this <<email to>> Time entry Put %time at the end of the field name like this <<Time To Meet%time>> Number entry Put %number at the end of the field name <<Number of units%number>> Date entry Put %date at the end of the field name like this <<Proposed date of meeting%date>> Todays Date Put %todaysdate in the field <<%todaysdate>> Choose From List Put the field name first then each additional option all separated by | <<Subject|Marketing|Sales|Purchasing>> Optional Paragraph Put the paragraph in the field and put %optional at the end. <<Thanks for your call the other day.%optional>> Pick a contact to add an address Using this will allow you to select a contact, then after confirming/editing will insert the address. <<%contactaddress>> Day <<%day>> Month Pick a month. <<%month>> Defaults You can setup some default includes when first running the Shortcut, or you can edit them in the dictionary action at any time. Your sign off Signature is a place for your sign off eg Name, Role, Company <<%signature>> Your phone <<%myphone>> Your address You can use an address you set at setup, or in the Shortcut dictionary action. When opening in Pages/HTML the address will be right justified. Because it is using HTML to right justify its not really an option if you want to output text. Use commas, to indicate you want to use a new line, commas are not shown in the output. <<%myaddress>> Example output opened in Pages
