Links and Dynamic Content Elements

B2C Service contains an HTML editor for creating dynamic content in messages. When you edit a message, you can use word processing functions to create HTML, as well as dynamic content, such as case sections, conditional sections, or incident threads.

You can add several types of links and dynamic content to your content. Links appear as clickable text when the document is used in a message. When a link is added, you have the option of defining certain attributes depending on the type of link. Links and dynamic content elements are found in the toolbox.

Note: The tools that display on the HTML editor are context sensitive and are the logical tools you would use for the specific message you are customizing. Links and dynamic content that were designed with message templates in mind are described in the following table. For a complete list of links, including those not listed in the following table, see the Toolbox Section table in How You Add HTML in Design Mode.
