Placeholders are primarily used for generic notes.ini variables (e.g. MC_DB=%notes_homeserver%!!panagenda\panagenda.nsf) and for a handful of special Actions in the Configuration database (e.g. Backup, Roaming, and Location and Connection Actions).
Placeholders are replaced when reading a corresponding notes.ini entry, respectively DURING THE EXECUTION of an Action.
NOTE that if resolving a placeholder fails, the respective Action is still executed.
