Executive Summary Parameters
Within the Executive Summary Outlines, parameters (merge fields) can be used to auto-fill project data within executive summaries. These are highlighted in yellow in the text editor.
To insert a new parameter:
- Within the text editor, type "{{".
- Select the parameter you would like to add. These options are sorted in alphabetical order. As you continue typing, the options will filter accordingly.
- Or, if you know the exact parameter you would like to use, you can type it directly into the text editor.

Executive Summary Sections
Sections are used to display content enclosed within a start statement, "{{#", and end statement, "{{/". Sections have the ability to cycle through a list of data associated to a parameter.
Valency uses a "{{#__.has__}}" format to serve as an 'if statement'–like section that shows content only when the "{{#__.has__}}" condition returns true.
To create a section:
- Create a "{{#__.has__}}" section to display information only if the assessment contains data pertaining to the chosen parameter.
- Insert any information to be included when the "{{#__.has__}}" condition is fulfilled. Close the 'if-statement' section with a "{{/__.has__}}" statement.
- In the 'if-statement' section, open a sub-section to cycle through using a "{{#" statement and close it with a "{{/".
- Populate the sub-section using any parameters or text that will be repeatedly displayed with each unique data piece linked to that parameter. In the Insights example presented in the photos, every insight selected would display in the executive summary following the same format seen in the template.
- Create and populate any additional sections or sub-sections.
- Ensure each section is closed with a "{{/".
