Data fields

Data fields let you map information to multiple places in a document to save time and effort when creating a document.

You can connect data fields to our integrations and set up your data fields!

TIP
If you wonder what kind of data fields you should set up. Think of the most frequently used information: company name, recipient, or a specific date. Then make that into a data field!
		
A good starting point is replacing Customer or Recipient with a data field named Company name.

Activate template groups

You need to activate Template groups in order to use data fields.

1. Go to Marketplace > Template groups > Enable.
2. Click on Add a template group.
3. Name the template group > Confirm.
   

Add data fields to a template group

Once you have created a template group, you can add data fields to it.

1. Open the template group > Add a data field.
2. Name the data field, for example, "Phone number" > Confirm.

Add more data fields you wish to use in templates with the selected template group.

Use data fields in a template

When you have added all your data fields, you are ready to use them in your templates.

Add data fields to a form field

When a form field is mapped to a data field, a link icon will appear next to the name of the field.

Add data fields in plain text 

You can link data fields directly in your plain text.

1. Open a Template.

5. Select an appropriate data field in the drop-down list > Confirm.

INFORMATION
If you choose to add data fields to plain text - the data field must first be linked to a form field (as shown above). When you fill in the right information needed in the  form field, the information will be filled in the plain text that the data field is connected to.
