How to list subitems, updates and connected items in a Word template

PDF Docs, Invoices + eSignatures · Updated

Short answer

Put a start marker and an end marker around what repeats. For subitems, make a two-column-or-more Word table row starting with {{#subitems}} and ending with {{/subitems}}, and use {{s_Column name}} inside. Updates use {{#updates}}…{{/updates}}; a Connect boards column uses its own name as the marker.

Subitems

| Item                    | Qty       | Price                          |
| {{#subitems}}{{s_Name}} | {{s_Qty}} | {{s_Unit Price}}{{/subitems}}  |
Repeated for every subitem of the item.
  • Write subitems in small letters.
  • Use a table with at least two columns.
  • Other fields, like {{Item.Name}}, still work inside the row.

Updates

{{#updates}}{{date}}, {{user}}: {{text}}{{/updates}}

Connected items

{{#Contacts}}{{c_Name}}, {{c_Email}}{{/Contacts}}
For a Connect boards column called "Contacts".

Note: Leave symbols out of the marker: "Client (CRM)" becomes {{#Client CRM}}…{{/Client CRM}}. A list cannot go inside another list.
