Document Builder

Cheryl Hishmeh

Hello - I wonder if there is a way to name the document that the document builder is generating with info from the row. i.e. John Doe form Name 010322 This would be so helpful.

Also is there anyway to automate form generation when a row is added, trigger the generate document to run and add to the row.

Let me know if this is going to be available!

Thanks - Cheryl

Hi @Cheryl Hishmeh

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible to do either, but both are excellent ideas!

I've worked around dynamically naming documents by creating a hidden Function Column on the sheet that creates the name I wish to use for the document and mapping that to the document title. In your example above, let's say there is an existing column called [Name] that contains the person's name you wish to include in the document name. My formula column would be:

=[Name]@row + " Form Name " + TODAY()

If instead of using the date the document builder was run in the title, you wanted to use the date the row was created, make sure you've previously added an Auto-Number/System column for "Created (Date)". In that case the formula would be:

=[Name]@row + " Form Name " + [Created]@row

I use the helper column solution JShield describes,

Then you map that column here
