Formatting values

Put a token in any text and it is replaced with data at render time. Wrap tokens in double curly braces. A token can add a filter after a |.

The basics

Token	Prints
{{field}}	The field's value
{{field | date:"medium"}}	A date, using a preset
{{field | date:"dd/MM/yyyy"}}	A date, using a custom pattern
{{field | datetime:"24h"}}	A date and time
{{field | number:"#,##0.00"}}	A number, using a pattern
{{field | number:"decimal"}}	A number, using a preset
{{field | number}}	A number, default pattern #,##0.##

Declare a field as date, datetime or number in the schema panel and its format picker inserts the right token for you.

Date and datetime presets

Preset	Date example	Datetime example
medium	May 25, 2026	May 25, 2026, 2:30 PM
short	5/25/2026	5/25/2026, 2:30 PM
long	Monday, May 25, 2026	Monday, May 25, 2026, 2:30 PM
iso	2026-05-25	2026-05-25T14:30:00
time		2:30 PM
24h		2026-05-25 14:30

time and 24h are datetime presets.

Custom date patterns

Use these pieces, plus 'literal text' in single quotes:

yyyy yy MMMM MMM MM M dddd ddd dd d HH H hh h mm m ss s tt t

Example: {{issuedAt | date:"dd/MM/yyyy"}}.

Numbers

Presets:

Preset	Pattern	Example
integer	#,##0	1,235
decimal	#,##0.00	1,234.50
percent	0%	12%

A custom pattern uses 0 (a required digit), # (an optional digit), , (grouping), . (the decimal point), % (percent), 'literal' text, and a ; section for negative numbers. Rounding is half away from zero, done on the number's digits, so the PDF and the designer agree.

A value that can't be read as a number prints unchanged.

Values from the system

Token	Prints
{{$today | date:"long"}}	The date at render time
{{$now | datetime:"short"}}	The date and time at render time
{{$page}} / {{$pages}}	The page number and the page count

The Dynamic values section of the schema panel inserts the date tokens, with a format choice.

Table columns

A table column has a format as setting (text, number, date…) with the same presets and patterns, so a column can format its values without tokens.
