# Templates objects

### New objects

4 new objects have been added and are now usable in templates : 

* **$bundle** \
  the current bundle of templates<br>
* **$now**\
  provides the current system date and time in different formats<br>
* **$file**\
  allows to work with a file located on the filesystem, each file instance is created with $fn.file(..) or $fn.fileFromXxx(..)<br>
* **$fkPart**\
  a Foreign Key element (got from an attribute involved in 1 or more Foreign Keys)

For more information see "**Telosys objects reference**" documentation.
