By default, Documint generates data based on an individual or row. But what if you need several records to display on your template? Here are the steps to achieve this result.
Head over to Airtable and create a table that will group all your record items together. In this example, we will want to display all the names in the Dishes table along with each record's information like price, disclaimers, etc.
2. Once you have a table ready to group these line items, create a linked record field. In this example, we decided to group all the line items in the Menu table.
3. Begin adding all the records you need to be displayed in the document.
5. Create a Section with the number of elements you will need to create the line items. Select the section and "Edit Logic".
6. In the Logic editor, select Repeat/Loop and add the name of the linked field created in the earlier steps. In our example, we will loop over the "Name" and "Price" fields from the "Dishes" table.
7. Edit the template style as desired.
8. In Airtable, generate a document to see all your records! No more typing items from your database one by one!
See the function to filter items needed to be displayed.
Remember to add the since it is a Linked Record.
4. Add the or to the new table created.
