Substitutions allow you to put useful contact-related information into the label or value of an item. To create a substitution you need to have a relatively good understanding of the Miranda database – a few hours browsing with DbEditor++ will give you a clue. You create a substitution by specifying a name and the database module and setting names for the data it will contain. You can then put this data into any item (label or value) by enclosing the substitution name in "%" symbols. Many database values are not terribly friendly to humans, so when creating a substitution, you can also choose a translation which will convert the value into a more readable format.
