• Bookmark = FieldName on defined datasource

    By Trevor J Denner 1 decade ago

    Rather than having to predefine the Bookmarks for each document, would it be possible to have the tags in the word document equate to fields in a defined datasource

    Datasource Property = "docContract"

    <> would then pull the txtFirstName field from the docContract datasource.

    docContract.getValue("txtFirstName");

     

    • Nice Idea

      By Christian Güdemann 1 decade ago

      Hello Trevor

      This is a nice idea. We will discuss this on our next developermeeting. Maybe we will share some visions about this.

      But for your consideration: This idea will have a big impact on the performance and also in the reusalbilty of the document templates.

      Best regards

      Christian

        I'd like to pickup this idea but point to another direction:

        It would be useful if I could calculate a list of fieldnames from e.g. a document field or over a view column so that I don't have to set each bookmark manually.
        Of course then the bookmark's name has to be equal to the item's name.
        It's like Trevor's idea but with only a subset of predefined field names.
