Certification Campaign Templates - How to access Description?

[barry-p-evans (Barry Evans)]

We’re working on the Certification email template in IdentityNow. In order to explain more to the reviewer at initial contact, we would like to include the description text from the certification in the email that initially goes to them.

In the template, we see the certification name referenced in the default template as ${certification.certificationGroups.get(0).name} which works perfectly well. Documentation seems exceedingly light around this syntax & components of the reference.

We tried ‘intuitive’ solutions to access the description within the template so far with no luck:
nope - ${certification.certificationGroups.get(0).description}
nope - ${certification.description}

Any guidance on proper variable reference to obtain the certification campaign description within the Certification email template?

certificationGroups

Hi Barry, As per my understanding only below attributes are available in the certification email template:

Name	Type	Description
certification	Object (WorkItem)	Certification that the notification is referring to.
certificationName	Object (Certification)	The name of the certification.
created	Date	The date the certification was created.
expiration	Date	The date the certification is set to expire.
newDueDate	Date	The date the next reminder is due to be sent.
nowDate	Date	The current date.
oldDueDate	Date	The date this reminder was sent.
ordinalNumReminders	String	The number of this reminder, starting from 1.
ownerName	String	The name of the identity that owns the certification.
remindersRemaining	String	The number of reminders remaining after this one.
requester	Object	The identity that created the certification.
workItem	Object	The name of the certification work item assigned to the recipient of the email.
workItemName	String	The name of the work item assigned to the recipient, usually the certification.

Thanks for the reply. This is pretty disappointing but consistent with what I’m finding.

Is there any documentation about the objects used here or methods? get(0) for instance - perhaps they’re are other methods or arguments to get more of the object?

Objects

${certification.certificationGroups.get(0)}

${certification.certificationGroups}

yields:

Objects
