Merge Fields

Merge fields are used in multiple places throughout the software. A merge field is identified by starting with a < and ending with a >. When used in the software, the merge field is replaced with information specific to the employee. Examples of where merge fields are used are:

• Employee Info Text
• Dynamic paths such as used for payroll file location
• Name formats for staffing sheets
