How to add or edit text snippets

1. Navigate to Control Panel > Snippets.

2. Click + Create snippet or Edit an existing one.

3. Complete the fields:

  • Name: Enter a name for the snippet that reflects where it will be used, as the same snippets apply to tasks, defect quotes, and service quotes.

  • Key: System field used to identify the snippet; use only lowercase letters and underscores.

  • Text: Enter the content to be inserted when the snippet is used. Markdown styling, such as headings and italics, is supported.

4. Click Save Snippet.


How to remove a text snippet

Text snippets cannot be deleted or deactivated. If the snippet is no longer required, please edit the name accordingly to be reused later.
