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.

Subject: All you need to know about using Data Tags in Event Management Solution
Hi all! We are back with our next edition of
the Tip of the Week discussion!
Did you know – there are over 400 data tags available in Event Management? I am sure that using data tags can be confusing sometimes. So, today, let's look at some key data tags you can use while sending out emails to invitees, or during the registration process.
NOTE: Some data tags have two versions-Link and URL. If you're not sure when to use which,
take a look at "Should I use a URL or Link data tag?"
- Invitee:
- {[C-CONFIRMATION NUM LINK]} or {[C-CONFIRMATION NUM URL]}: Inserts a link that, when clicked, will send the invitee an email containing their system-generated confirmation number. If using the link version, the default text will simply read "Click here."
- {[C-CURRENT REGISTRATION]}: Creates a table that displays what someone selected during registration, including admission items, optional sessions, optional items, and answers to registration questions. You can modify what questions appear or add more text below sessions, but nothing else can be customized.
- {[C-PRIMARY REGISTRANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION]}: Brings up the registration information for the invitee only, including all travel details.
- {[C-MY AGENDA:ANN]}: Creates a table that displays the sessions an invitee has registered for, including their date, time, and location. When selecting this tag, you'll choose what types of sessions should be included, and if the session custom fields and codes will display. Your choice will replace the "ANN" section of the tag.
- {[C-MY SESSIONS: parameters]}: Displays a list of the sessions an invitee has registered for. When selecting this tag, you'll choose what types of sessions should be included and how they should be separated. Your choice will replace the "parameters" section of the tag.
- {[E-NAME BADGE LINK]} or {[E-NAME BADGE URL]}: Inserts a link that, when clicked, prints the registrant's name badge. If using the link version, the default text will read "Click here to print the name badge."
- Registration:
- {[E-RSVP NO LINK]} or {[E-RSVP NO URL]}: Inserts a link that, when clicked, declines the invitee from the event and triggers the regret email. If using the link version, the default text will read "No." This data tag is also known as the decline link.
- {[E-FEEDBACK LINK]} or {[E-FEEDBACK URL]}: Inserts a link that, when clicked, opens the Feedback survey. If using the link version, the default text will read "Click here to respond."
- {[P-FIRST NAME]}: Inserts the event planner's first name.
- {[P-LAST NAME]}: Inserts the event planner's last name.
- {[E-RSVP YES LINK]} or {[E-RSVP YES URL]}: Inserts a link that, when clicked, takes the invitee to the first page of registration. If using the link version, the default text will read "Yes." This data tag is also known as the registration link.
- {[SS-LOCATION: Code]}: Displays the location of the session selected.
- {[E-CALENDAR LINK]} or {[E-CALENDAR URL]}: Inserts a link that, when clicked, opens a calendar appointment for the event. The recipient can choose which calendar program they want to use to open the appointment. The appointment will populate with the event's title, start date and time, end date and time, and description.
- {[SS-REG INFO:CODE]}: Inserts the content in the Registration Information field of the session selected.
- {[SS-ASSIGNED SPEAKERS:CODE]}: Inserts a table with the selected session's associated speaker name, title, company, and category.
Question for you:
- At which event stage, do you prefer to use data tags and how has it helped you?
Looking forward to reading all your expert suggestions below!
