# Dynamic keywords

When added to an image, dynamic keywords automatically replace the generic part of a keyword with the actual value pulled from the metadata. This allows you to easily add keywords for the **creator** of the image, **the day of the week** and **the year** that it was taken. 

This is useful for keywords pages - such as a weekend-long event with keywords for each day, or simply to help you organise an account with a lot of content by its creator. 

### Adding dynamic keywords

You can use dynamic keywords anywhere that you use a normal keyword. You can also insert multiple dynamic keywords separated by a comma. 

### Supported keywords

The following can be used as dynamic keywords:

* <% Creator %>
* <% Day %>
* <% Year %>

### Namespaced dynamic keywords
Dynamic keywords can be used alone and as part of a [namespaced keyword](https://support.digitalphotogallery.com/articles/article/df4b3ddc-f221-11e6-b72f-6e61028599f7).

When used alone the **<% Day %>** keyword will add the single day keyword. }
