| I | Care Recipient |
| U | User |
| Token | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `<D1>` | the Start Date for a date range - if displayed but left blank by the searcher a default of 1899-12-30 is assumed |
| `<D2>` | the End Date for a date range - default as `<D1>` |
| `<SVALUE>` | if specified a text entry box is displayed and the token returns the raw string typed in by the searcher - not typed, escaped or quoted so care required to ensure a valid SQL expression is formed |
| `<QVALUE>` | a safely quoted version of `<SVALUE>` |
| `<X1>` | the primary key of the calling record. eg in the case of a search for candidates from a vacancy, the VacancyID. Typed as string so no additional quotes needed |
| `<EXPRESSION>` | a SQL fragment generated from the Database Item and conditions set by the searcher - if used with an Indexed Text dictionary type it indicated that Indexing Services (ie external) rather than internal text indexes should be used |
| `<N1>` | the Start Value for a numeric range- if displayed but left blank by the searcher a default of 0 is assumed |
| `<N2>` | the End Value for a numeric range - default as `<N1>` |
The presence of unexpected tokens, such as date tokens in a numeric question, will cause additional data entry fields of that type to be displayed in addition to the automatically included ones related to the question type. This does not apply to `<X1>` or `<EXPRESSION>`, which do not generate their own data entry fields.
