This is great information! I use data tags when emailing out communications to multiple attendees, and when creating name badges with additional details.

I love using data tags throughout the website, registration process and emails. It's become a really great way to be able to update information that appears in multiple places. One of the best examples of this is our hotel deadline date. We have this located on the website, as well as in multiple emails. By creating a custom data tag for this, if the deadline changes because we were able to get an extension, I don't have to open up all those emails and change it, I can just update the data tag and the change cascades everywhere. It's been an absolute time saver.

I love the efficiency using data tags and content blocks! I would love to use the air actuals tag but it shows the airfare dollar value, and we can't have that displaying in emails. 
Can the dollar value be hidden/masked? or an alternate data tag be created that omits the cost?
It would be a huge breakthrough and simplify our pre-travel communications to have a usable data tag for PNR.
Thanks!

You have to start using data tags and emails throughout the event build from the moment you start to really take advantage. It helps when we have last minute change in timings or information about the event that we can update everywhere with one change vs. manually finding things in 20 spots to update.

These are a great breakdown of the data tags available to use! Our team found these to be helpful when booking hotels for our attendees and we used data tags to send confirmation codes to everyone so they had the information they needed when they arrived to the event hotel.

I like the data tags mostly for registration confirmations & the "countdown to the event" emails we send out the week before. It's great to have the attendee-specific information customized right in those emails, so they have a preview before logging into their Attendee Hub.

I use data tags at all stages from event pages, reg pages, and emails. I tend to prefer the URL version so that I can rename the link to fit my needs. I've also used data tags behind custom button images to provide a better user experience. We've developed custom data tags for things like our company's privacy policy and a few other items we tend to use across all event sites. Data tags save so much time and help provide consistency in our processes.

This is great and so many are not aware of the benifits of using data tags. I follow this article which sums up what you said here. https://support.cvent.com/s/communityarticle/Data-Tag-Cheat-Sheet?searchFor=data%20ta&lang=en_US

Benefits: If there is a change to the date, time, location it will change everywhere and you don't need to do additional work. I encourage my team to always use them.

I use data tags every chance I can, it makes updates so much easier. An enhancement would be how they appear (i.e. start time) so that we can customize it to how our org likes things to appear. For instance, 9-10 a.m. is not an option, it has to be 9:00 am - 10:00 am. 

I also use content block tags for all of our disclosures, as they are changing from time to time. 

If there is a list of all available data tags, that would be a great reference tool - as I'm sure there are ones that I'm not aware of.
