Collections in Document Templates

Use Collections in document templates to loop through the multiple merge fields like order rows or invoice rows. The inner range text will be repeated for each collection element until all of them are included in the document.
Fields marked as Collections in the Merge Fields list must be inserted in a certain collection.

How to add a collection of merge fields

To insert a Collection of merge fields into a Word Document template:

1. Open the Word document file for editing.
2. Press Ctrl + F9 to insert the field braces {}. In the braces, type: RangeStart:, followed by the collection name. This will identify the starting point of the collection.
3. Right-click on the entered merge field and click Update the field to apply the changes.
4. Insert the Collection body that could consist both of text and specific merge fields from the collection chosen. Format the merge fields, if required.
5. To close the range, insert the field braces {} by pressing Ctrl + F9. In the braces, type: RangeEnd:, followed by the respective collection name chosen above. This will identify the ending point of the collection.
6. Right-click on the entered merge field and click Update the field to apply the changes.
7. Continue editing the template as normal.

For example, an order rows collection range:

Nested collections of merge fields

Nest Collections inside other collections to show only values related to the current value of the parent collection.

For example, the SerialNumbers collection is nested inside the PackRow collection.
