In addition to data elements and content blocks, you can also use custom code as an alternative way to display data in a data repeater or in a page data connection. It's particularly useful for displaying field data that's inline with text.

When the page is open:
- Drag a Custom Code page element from the Page Elements pane onto the data repeater. Alternatively, if the page has a page data connection, drag the Custom Code page element directly onto the page canvas.
-
To access the fields of the object that the data repeater or page is connected to, type
{! and double-click the expression that you want to display.
Note The object's fields are listed first, followed by the fields of all parent objects, which use the format parent_object_name.field_name. -
Add any additional expressions or text you require. For example:
To contact {!Name}, call {!Phone}.where
{!Name}and{!Phone}are placeholders for the values of the Name and Phone fields of each record. - Click Save and Close.
