# Format and conditions attributes

How to format attributes in your templates?

In this article, we will see :

-   how to format an attribute (1st letter in upper case, etc.)
    
-   how to put conditions on attributes
    

For the fields in the text block, it is possible, for example, **to integrate a suffix or a prefix**. If the field is empty then it will not appear in the template.

## **❶** Access the Templates menu

The attributes are accessible from your [template editor](https://signitic.app/template/25219/edit): Create or select one of your templates.

## **❷** Click on the text block

**Select the attribute** you want to include in your template and use our magic formulas.

## ⬇ Details of the magic formulas

In order to manage the case of the first and last name, you must capitalize the attributes:

`{{Firstname}} {{Lastname}}`

_will display Thomas DUPONT_

`{{Firstname}} {{Lastname}}`

_will display Thomas Dupont_

_To check if one or more attributes are not empty:_

`{{if firstname}}{{lastname}}{{endif}} {{lastname}}`
