When putting together salutations and addresses in templates there are several attributes available. These attributes are available for candidates (toEmployee), contacts (toContact) and users (toUser).
The available attributes are:
Attribute |
name |
opening |
openingWithPrefix |
closing |
Salutation
The 'Salutation' in the file determines if a formal or informal salutation is used.
Use the following attributes for a formal/informal salutation:
Attribute |
formalName |
formalTitleName |
informalName |
formalAndlnformalName |
Attribute |
formalOpening |
formalTitleOpening |
informalOpening |
formalAndlnformalOpening |
Attribute |
formalClosing |
formalTitleClosing |
informalClosing |
formalAndlnformalClosing |
Remarks
If no salutation is set in the file, the default from the table item is used.
If there is no default set in the table item, then the Formal (informal) is used.
Variants (EU, US, ES)
When putting together salutations and addresses, 1 of the following 3 variants is used:
EU - Europese format: Mr. A. van der Akker
US - International format: Mr. Michael J. Fox
ES - Spanish format: Sr. Juan Gomez Antonio
Remarks
The default variant of a Carerix system is determined by one of the following interface parameters: isInternational(US), isBelgian(EU), isSpanish(ES).
It is always possible to choose a variant yourself by adding an attribute to one of the codes. For example: formalNameEU or informalNameUS.
The default language of a Carerix system is determined by the language parameters. The language determines the salutations and addresses (mister / de heer / senor). If no language parameter is set, the language is dutch.
UnknownGenderSalutation
The setting 'UnknownGenderSalutation' determines, if the gender is unknown, what the salutation will be.

Translated salutation
Let's say that you use a Dutch system, and you want to use a English salutation in a template. Use the following CxScript code:
<cx:language value="English">
<cx:write value="$activity.toEmployee.openingEU"/>
</cx:language>Lets say that you want to use a salutation based on the language that is set to the person. Use the following CxScript code:
<cx:let name="myLang" condition="$activity.toUser.toLanguageNode.dataNodeID=1465" ifTrue="English" ifFalse="Dutch">
<cx:write value="$myLang"/>
...
<cx:write value="$activity.toContact.openingWithPrefixEU"/>,
...
</cx:language>
</cx:let>Be aware:
The 1465 is a fixed value in above example, see in your application the table item "Language" to find ID in your system for the desired language.
Alternative: Is the whole template in English. Select the system language 'English' in the template file.
Then the cx:language construction doesn't need to be used.
