In Event Temple, Document Elements are basically the building blocks that make your documents smart and dynamic.
Document Styles
The Styles tab lets you control the overall look and feel of your document, including text styling and page setup.
You can adjust:
Font colour and font family
Page orientation (portrait or landscape)
Page size
Margins
Padding & Formatting
Padding controls the space around each document element, helping you adjust how content is positioned and spaced within the layout.
Top (above the element)
Bottom (below the element)
Left and right (side spacing)
Formatting options include:
Font family
Font size
Font weight
Font color
Titles, Labels & Visibility
Some elements, such as columns and signatures, support titles and labels to help structure and organize information clearly. You can add a title for clarity and a label beneath it, and you also have the option to show or hide titles and labels entirely. Disabling them removes them from the document. In addition, labels can be customized using an optional label field instead of the default component name.
Managing Document Elements
To add elements:
Click the document element you would like add
To move the position of the element:
Drag and drop where desired within the document
To edit:
Double-click the element or click the edit icon
To remove an element:
Click the trash icon
If no data is available, placeholders will appear while editing but these will not be visible to customers.
Using Merge Fields
Merge fields in Event Temple let you dynamically pull in data such as bookings, contacts, and accounts directly into your documents, enabling accurate and personalized content. These fields are organized by data source to make it easy to find and insert the right information in the right place.
