HTML

The HTML variable lets you provide content with advanced formatting, including images, for a catalog item.

Use the variable to create fields for user input. You can also use the variable for reusable content when put into a variable set, such as terms and conditions.

The variable is available in two modes: edit and read-only. In edit mode, a toolbar is available, and links do not work. In read-only mode, the toolbar is disabled, and links work. To switch between modes, use entitlements or create a UI policy to set the HTML field to read-only mode.

Note: HTML variables are not supported for display on the shopping cart summary or approval summary screens.
