Summary
This article contains information about label merge tags and their use in label template designs for ClinSpark.
What is a Label Merge Tag?
A merge tag is a script used to obtain data from various places in the application, for the purposes of generating that data onto a printed label.
...
Can I add my own Label Merge Tag?
IQVIA ‘Superadmin’ users are able to add & modify merge tags. That said, ClinSpark comes pre-loaded with a default set of merge tags that should cover most needs.
...
Any conditional logic required - merge tags are scripts, so it’s possible to use conditions (e.g. “Return the Screening Number if one exists, and if not return the volunteer’s upcoming Appointment Number if it exists, else return nothing”)

Note: if conditional logic is required, please include all of the information above for each datafield you’d like to include in the conditional statement. Screenshots of everything along with the URLs is best. |
Which Label Merge Tags are already available in my environment?
You can download a list of all existing and available merge tags in ClinSpark from Barcode Printing > Manage > Actions > Reference.

Why are there different template types?
Label template types define which objects are available to the template on the back-end. This translates to defining what information is accessible by the merge tags. For example, Item type templates have direct access to different parts of the application than User type templates do.
...
If you do not select the correct label template type upon importing into ClinSpark, the merge tags will fail to grab data and ClinSpark will think you’ve used an unsupported merge tag. The template type is the context in which the merge tags function. If you have questions about which type is appropriate for the template you’re designing, please open a service desk ticket for assistance.
Merge tags not yet supported
For now, the ‘SubjectVolImage’ merge tag is not yet supported for use. It’s purpose is to provide the ability to for designers to place a dynamic image of the volunteer onto a label template, for example a subject wristband.
On our development roadmap is a request to fully At some point, we may offer the capability for this tag to support dynamic volunteer images to be included as part of label designs. However, this will likely require an update to the ClinSpark Agent. Once implemented and supported, this page will be updated with further details.
If there are questions about this merge tag or designing labels with dynamic volunteer images, customers should reach out via service desk ticket.
