How Do I Apply a Merge Field to My Document

Updated this week

🧩 What Merge Fields Are

Merge fields are placeholders that automatically pull data from your system — for example,
{{group.name}} → displays the group’s actual name when the document is generated.


🪄 How to Add a Merge Field

  1. Open your document template

    • You’re already on the Document Templates page.

    • Choose the template you want (e.g., Group Resume).

    • Click the section you want to edit (like a text box).

  2. Click inside the text editor

    • You’ll see the toolbar with menus like client, account, booking, user, organization, etc. at the top.

    • These menus represent data categories in your system.

  3. Select the correct category

    • For example:

      • client → pulls client details (name, email, phone).

      • group → pulls group info (name, arrival date, status).

      • account → pulls company or account data.

  4. Choose a specific merge field

    • Click the dropdown (e.g., group) and select a field like group.name or group.arrivalDate.

    • The field will automatically appear in your text area like this:

      {{group.name}}
    • You can place it anywhere in your layout.

  5. Save or Apply

    • Once you’ve added your merge fields, click Apply in the top-right corner.

    • Preview your document to ensure the fields populate correctly.


💡 Example

If you want to display a client’s contact info:

Contact: {{client.firstName}} {{client.lastName}} Email: {{client.email}} Phone: {{client.phoneNumber}}

When you generate the document, these placeholders will automatically be replaced with the actual client’s details.
