• {distribution} - current distribution value of the document

• {compliance} - current compliance value of the document

• {datetime} - current date and time

• {email} - email of the current user (only works when outlook plugin is installed)

• {user} - id of the current user

• {machineid} - id of the current machine

• {fileid} - unique file id
