Velocity macros
Velocity is a template engine with its own scripting language, the Velocity Template Language (VTL). The VTL is used in Aeneis in conjunction with the Aeneis API to access, modify, or add functionality to Aeneis objects that are not natively supported.
See also: For general information about the Velocity Template Language, see the Apache documentation at velocity.apache.org/engine/2.3/user-guide.
Note: All options for accessing Aeneis objects can be found in the API folder of your Aeneis installation. To avoid unintentionally modifying or deleting data, we recommend that you acquire knowledge about the meaning and use of each API method.

The template with the corresponding macros is stored in the Content property of the Account Lockout - User Email object:
