Background
|
Document generation includes the capability to
drop any process, task, field or function information into a document for
merging with text. Each process, task, field or function added to
the document will be made available in a mail merge data source. In
some cases, such as a process, task, or lookup table field, the document
will have multiple merge fields made available.
|
Processes
|
Adding a process to a document makes available
the Process, Person, Team, Client and Vendor information for a
process. If you include a process in a Matter-Level document, the
newest process of the type you selected will be used to supply the merge
fields.
|
Tasks
|
Adding a task to a document makes available the
Task, Person, Team, Start and Stop dates, and accounting information if
applicable. If you include a task in a Process level document, the
newest task of the type you selected will be used to supply the merge
fields.
|
Fields
|
Adding a field to a document makes available
the field value. If the field is defined as a lookup field, all
values from the associated lookup table will be included. To add a field,
the field repeatability MUST match or be higher than the document
repeatability. For example, you cannot include a task-level field in
a process-level document.
|
Functions
|
Functions are small programs designed to
generated text for merging into a document. In situations where a
simple merge field will not work, or where multiple version of the same
task or field need to be dealt with, functions provide a very efficient
solution.
