Scenario

You have an existing signature template, but you are unsure of how to add information such as pronouns or any other personal detail to the template.

Resolution

NOTE: The steps described here assume that you have already created an email signature. For more information, see how you can create an email signature.

To resolve this issue, you can follow any one of the three solutions described below: 

Solution 1: Use a text box to enter pronouns for the required person, then use the visibility on the text box to display it based on the display name.
  1. Drag a text box into your signature design template.
    Example:
    mceclip1.png

  2. As required, rename the textbox to 'He/His/Him', 'She/Her/Hers' or 'They/Them/Their'.
     
  3. Select the required text box, then from the right-hand side, within the Visibility properties, select the Visible when option and enter appropriate values.
    Example:
    mceclip0.png

 

Solution 2: (Recommended) Use the original 15 Custom Attributes from Microsoft 365, populate the fields with the pronoun in each user mailbox, and then drag the field into the template. 
This is the recommended option for Cloud-based solutions - for more information, see how you can add custom fields to your signature and how you can use custom attributes in Exclaimer Cloud.

For information on creating and managing custom attributes in Google Workspace, see Create custom attributes for user profiles and Which Google Directory attributes can be synced to Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Google Workspace? 

  1. Select All {Fields}, the All {Fields} window is displayed. From the Field dropdown list, select an existing custom attribute. You can use any field from the local directory that isn't multi-value, for example: {AAD.info}
    For more information, see Which fields are multi-value and cannot be synced to Exclaimer Cloud?

    Example 1: {CustomAttribute1}

    Example 2: {AAD.info} - This is an additional AAD attribute available in the Notes fields in the local directory

  2. Drag the field into your signature design template.

    Example 1: {CustomAttribute1}

    Example 2: {AAD.info}

Solution 3: Use Azure AD Connect to synchronize a dedicated attribute, then drag it into the template.
