2.4.1 When to use Multiple Tokens

Revision as of 00:26, 7 December 2024

As a general rule multiple use tokens are used for "long term loans," where an item is due using a loan period of days, while "short term loans with a loan period of hours do not.

The two types of multiple tokens are loans and feeCharges:

The category of loan template also determines what type of multiple tokens to use:

Category	Long Term	Short Term
Loan	Loans	No multiple tokens
Automated fee/fine charges	feeCharges	No multiple tokens
Automated fee/fine Adjustment	feeCharges	No multiple tokens
The following never use multiple tokens
Request	No multiple tokens
Manual fee/fine charge	No multiple tokens
Manual fee/fine action	No multiple tokens

The use is to bracket the tokens and text intended to repeat as below:

Loans	feeCharges

Examples of a loan and charges template are below. Note the same template could be used for a short term loan by removing the multiple loan tokens:
