|
system.newline |
This expression starts a new line. This variable is useful in SMS, MMS and email message fields to format a line break, as some handsets and external platforms will not recognize a line break created using the Enter key (a carriage return). You can also use this variable in an expression to add a new line in a single line text field, such as the Create/Update scope variable handler. You can use this variable in the Services, Subscriptions and Broadcasts tabs of MEP. |
