Adding Job Merge Fields to an existing File Template
To include Job Merge fields in an existing File Template
- Go to the Manage templates area from the More drop-down:
NB: You need to be a SuiteFiles Admin or a Standard User with Manage Templates permissions in order to see this option. - Either click on the file name or click on the three dots to the right of the template name and select Edit.
- This will bring you to a preview of the file.
- Select Edit in browser or Open in Office to make changes to the document. NB: If you select the Edit in browser option, the file saves automatically so you can just navigate away from the page once you have completed your edits.
- This will open up a panel on the right side of the web app where you can select a client from the drop-down list under the Client Information section of the panel.
- You will see a list of merge fields and these will also show the corresponding information for that field.
- Jobs information will load below the Client Information section:
This provides a simple way to check which fields will populate with information for clients, if you were to add them to your template.
Please note: Jobs Merge Fields are only currently available for File Templates, and not yet available in Email Templates.
