Dataobject

Use the dataobject tag to add data to the current context of the template. For example, use dataobject to add a list of recommended purchases in an email or web page. You must declare all information for the dataobject tag before referencing it within your activity.

All dataobjects must include this information:

• A user-supplied name value

• A type value:

  • inline - data contained within a simple value, object, or collection, including a JSON object in the data section of the data object

  • variable - data contained within a declared string variable treated as content, including this template in the data section:

  • list - data contained within a data extension or list, including a JSON object in the data section of the datasource object that describes the list:

• A maxRows integer value

  • Must include a positive integer
  • can’t exceed any maxRelatedRows option
  • Defaults to the value of any defaultRelatedRows option
