Template reference

When defining promotion policies you can use templates to dynamically name the tag that is going to be created.

Important

Whenever an image promotion event occurs, the MSR timestamp for the event is in UTC (Coordinated Univeral Time). That timestamp, however, is converted by the browser and presents in the user’s time zone. Inversely, if a time-based tag is applied to a target image, MSR captures it in UTC but cannot convert it to the user’s timezone due to the tags being immutable strings.

You can use these template keywords to define your new tag:
