Esko | Tilia Labs Documentation # Griffin Keywords
Dynamic keywords are special text strings that are replaced with properties in artwork, layout, job, date, or time. Keywords can be used in marks to create dynamic text marks and barcodes. For example, you can create a QR code that encodes the artwork name or layout ID for use by operators on the press floor.
Dynamic keywords can also be used to define properties for some export types and dynamic filenames when creating printing and cutting files using Multiple Export.
