Message variables can be used when creating message model for recalls or appointment messages. Message variables are codes that the program uses to retrieve information from the program's internal register.
Below is an example of how to use message variables. Please note that the variables used in the recall message template are currently only available in Finnish.
- [etunimi] = first name of the patient
- [aikapvmklo] = date and time of the appointment
- [toimpuhelin] = phone number of the clinic
- [hoitohenkiloetunimi] = first name of the clinician
- [hoitohenkilosukunimi] = last name of the clinician
- [toimnimi] = name of the clinic
- [toimkatuosoite] = address of the clinic
- [toimyrpostinumero] = post code of the clinic
- [toimkaupunki] = city of the clinic
N.B! Following message variables can't be used in AssisDent before June 2023.
