# Setting up audit templates

Access Manager provides a [comprehensive set of variables](/ams/v2.1/help-and-support/advanced-help-topics/audit-variables.md) you can use in your HTML and JSON audit templates.

Access Manager uses the [Handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/) language to allow you to insert variables into templates, and even perform conditional rendering of your template, based on the contents of the audit data.

## HTML example

In this simple example, we can see reference to the `Response.Target` attribute, and some conditional rendering based on the value of `Response.IsSuccess`.

```html
<html>
<div>
    <p>Access to {{Response.Target}} was {{#if Response.IsSuccess}}granted{{else}}denied{{/if}} for {{user.FullyQualifiedName}}</p>
</div>
</html>
```

## JSON example

In this example, we can see examples of conditional rendering of a Microsoft Teams message card, inside the summary and title elements, as well as the conditional addition of the `computer` section.

```json
{
  "@type": "MessageCard",
  "@context": "http://schema.org/extensions",
  "summary": "{{#if Response.IsSuccess}}✅ Access to a {{Response.TargetType}} was granted{{else}}❌ Access to a {{Response.TargetType}} was denied{{/if}}",
  "title": "{{#if Response.IsSuccess}}✅ Access to a {{Response.TargetType}} was granted{{else}}❌ Access to a {{Response.TargetType}} was denied{{/if}}",
  "sections": [
    {
      "text": "{{Response.message}}"
    },
    {
      "title": "Details",
      "facts": [
        {
          "name": "Requested access",
          "value": "{{Response.AccessTypeDescription}}"
        },
        {
          "name": "Name",
          "value": "{{user.DisplayName}}"
        },
        {
          "name": "User name",
          "value": "{{user.FullyQualifiedName}}"
        },
        {{#if Computer}}
        {
          "name": "Computer",
          "value": "{{computer.FullyQualifiedName}}"
        },
        {{/if}}
        {{#if Response.IsSuccess}}
        {
          "name": "Access expiry",
          "value": "{{Response.AccessExpiryDate}}"
        },
        {
          "name": "Matched rule",
          "value": "{{Response.MatchedRuleDescription}}"
        },
        {{/if}}
        {
          "name": "Request reason",
          "value": "{{Request.Reason}}"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lithnet.io/ams/v2.1/help-and-support/advanced-help-topics/audit-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
