Template Bookmarks
Bookmarks are the system names for different elements in the system. They can be seen as placeholders that represent an element such as fields that will be replaced with data during the merge process.
Access Bookmarks
Depending on how the template is created, the bookmarks available can be accessed in different ways:
Online Templates
For online templates (created using the in-built text editor), the bookmarks can be accessed from the bookmarks panel located on the side of the template content editor.
To see this panel, you need to go to the New or Edit form of a template. See the Managing Templates article for details.

Bookmarks Types
In the templates context, bookmarks represent objects and fields. There are different types of bookmarks:
Single Fields: These fields belong to objects and can be added anywhere on this template.
Grid Fields: Grid Fields are used to sequentially retrieve multiple data records under the same field name within a given object. It consists of an introduction that declares the grid in the object and the data fields within that grid, which can be accessed as bookmarks.
Grid Items : This is the grid that you can insert into the current template. It’s represented by a table-shaped icon.
Grid Field Bookmarks : The grid bookmark refers to the data fields that can retrieve a value within that grid. It must be placed in Grid Items.
