Manage Email Signatures Centrally - For All Users

gorostizaj

Hello,
I thought empty AD fields are ignored by the signature? We have a user that does not have a title in AD. The signature is set to insert the title on the second line. For this user with no title, the signature inserts a blank line. Can this be avoided? There is no pre or post text next to the title.
Thank you.

Hello,

just click 'Insert conditional text' in Cockpit signature menu.

Have a look at this posting, please.

Can you give us an example of how the code should look when not using pretext? The Insert conditional text button inserts Mobile: before the field. I have tried to remove this pretext but it breaks the code. For example, on the second line of the signature I need Title. If the user does not have a title in AD the line should be removed.
Thank you.

Not quite sure what you want to show ... Confused

Example you should paste in code view with AD as data source:

Hello,
Your example has the word "Title:" before "IT administrator". We do not want any text before "IT administrator".

As it is below, If a user does not have a title in AD, an empy line is shown between their name and company.
Thank you.

Here is the html code:
<DIV>((First_name)) ((Last_name)) ((Title)) ((Company)) ((Address)) ((City)), ((State/Province)) ((ZIP/Postal_Code)) {$$NULL(Telephone_number)$$VALUE(Tel ((Telephone_number)) )$$} {$$NULL(Fax_number)$$VALUE(Fax ((Fax_number)) )$$} {$$NULL(Mobile_number)$$VALUE(Cell ((Mobile_number)) )$$} </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: smaller; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #003359; FONT-FAMILY: Trebuchet MS; LETTER-SPACING: 2px"> </DIV>

Enter code view (your code is from design view).

Simply replace ...

Hello, in the code I replaced ((Title)) for {$$NULL(Title)$$VALUE(((Title)) )$$}.
I get an error now. "The field (Title is not a merge field from the databse or the fields could be case sensitive. You cannot preview the signature before this is corrected."

If 'Title' is not a field name in your data source, just replace the name with the name of the field containing your users title information.

But you used 'Title' in the code you provided earlier ... Confused

Yes, Title is a field in our data source. We use Active Directory.

This is the original code that works but leaves a blank line in the signature if the users does not have a Title in AD:

<DIV>((First_name)) ((Last_name)) ((Title)) ((Company)) ((Address)) ((City)), ((State/Province)) ((ZIP/Postal_Code)) {$$NULL(Telephone_number)$$VALUE(Tel ((Telephone_number)) )$$} {$$NULL(Fax_number)$$VALUE(Fax ((Fax_number)) )$$} {$$NULL(Mobile_number)$$VALUE(Cell ((Mobile_number)) )$$} </DIV> 

This is the code with Title replaced as you sudgested but it does not work:

<DIV>((First_name)) ((Last_name)) {$$NULL(Title)$$VALUE(((Title)) )$$} ((Company)) ((Address)) ((City)), ((State/Province)) ((ZIP/Postal_Code)) {$$NULL(Telephone_number)$$VALUE(Tel ((Telephone_number)) )$$} {$$NULL(Fax_number)$$VALUE(Fax ((Fax_number)) )$$} {$$NULL(Mobile_number)$$VALUE(Cell ((Mobile_number)) )$$} </DIV>

I learn everyday ... Smile

Try this ... (added space before field name). Save and then preview.

No errors now but a blank line still appears for users that do not have a Title in AD. I tried it with and without the .

I am using the Preview window to see the space still exists.
Thanks
