Supported Tokens

Overview

Using the Deployment Manager SDK, it is sometimes necessary to replace values in deployed assets. An example of this is when deploying an image, you want to have a list item reference that image URL. The tokens exist to support such a use case. The Deployment Manager SDK supports multiple tokens which are replaced with site specific values upon deployment.

List.xml & Update.xml

Tokens that we support within the List.xml and Update.xml.

• {ListId} – the guid identifying the list
• {SiteId} – the guid identifying the site
• {SiteTitle} – the title of the site
• {SiteUrl} – the url of the site
• {SiteCollectionId} – the guid identifying the root site collection
• {SiteCollectionTitle} – the title of the root site collection
• {SiteCollectionUrl} – the url of the root site collection
• {ReferenceListId:ListName} – the guid identifying the list with the title ListName

MasterPage

Tokens that we support within the masterpage.html file

• {NewGuid} – a random guid, used for creating random identifiers
• {SiteUrl} – the url of the site

pages.xml

Tokens that we support within the pages.xml

• {SiteTitle} – The title of the current site
• {SiteUrl} – The url of the current site
• {SiteCollectionUrl} – The url of the root site collection
• {NewGuid} – A random guid, used for creating random identifiers
