Document generator: how to apply to multiple rows?

Tanya Brooks

I am able to map and generate a document document using document builder and attach it to 1 row. How do I attach that same document to other row in my sheet?

Thanks,

Tanya Brooks

Hi @Tanya Brooks ,

Document generator uses data from the row to create the document attached to that row. So, it won't take data from 1 row and attach the document to another row. You can do it manually by saving the document and attaching it to multiple rows. Probably not what you want to do.

So there is no way to copy and use the same document template for multiple row?

If I create an invoice template and map it to fields for one customer there is no way to use use that same invoice template/mapping for multiple customer rows to generate an invoice for each?

Hi @Tanya Brooks

You'll have to select the rows in the sheet before choosing the Document Builder option, and then each row you've selected will be used.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Good morning, I misunderstood the question. As Andree states, you can use the same template for multiple rows. Highlight the rows you want to use and then select document builder, select your template and create. The document for each row will be attached to that row. You can create multiple templates and use them against any row. You can't take the document prepared with row 1 data and attach it to row 15 within document builder, as an example of how I interpreted your question initially.
