Considerations related to tables of items and subitems

You can insert tables in your documents using table placeholders.

Please bear in mind the following considerations related to tables.

Styling tables

DocuGen allows you to format the generated tables in many ways, including column widths. Check out this article for more details.

Row order

Tables rows in your generated document will match the order they appear on the board. This applies to both items and subitems. 

Placeholders

Please use these placeholders to insert tables in your documents. 

To insert a table of main items:

• <<table_header>> Insert this in the first column of the first row of your table. 
• <<table_body>> Insert this in the first column of the second row of your table. If you are generating multiple multiple items, DocuGen will automatically insert as many rows as required in your document.

Example:

To insert a table of subitems:

• <<subitems_header>> Insert this in the first column of the first row of your table.
• <<subitems_body>> Insert this in the first column of the second row of your table. If you are generating multiple multiple subitems, DocuGen will automatically insert as many rows as required in your document

Example:

You can find more information about the above placeholders here.

Please don't use the legacy placeholders anymore as they can give unexpected results:

• <<table>>
• <<table_start>>
• <<subitems>>
• <<subitems_start>>

Number of subitems

DocuGen can insert up to 50 subitems in your document. If your board has more than 50 subitems, only the first 50 will be included in the document.
