As of version 3.7.2.10 it is now possible to export forms with a table of ordered custom fields.
In the following we will demonstrate with an example how to setup your form export template with the required settings.
Consider a form setup like the following:
...
This holds all of the same values, and an edited template can make these groups clearer. To better illustrate the groups are as following:
...
Then select Form Options:
...
Select export templatesExport Templates:
...
Select the form type you wish to use. And if you would like to make a new template, click ‘Generate Word Template’
...
To begin select the amount of table columns that will be shown, note that this results in 1 higher then the amount selected, as it is not including the Comparison Custom Field , which will be explained below. In this example we have selected 3 columns, and the type of comparison we wish to make is of Date Time, so we select that filter type.
...
Now we must pick the fields we are going to compare, in our example we are comparing the Arrival Time that parcels arrive at. Our filter will only show Custom Fields of the Filter Type selected.
So we select them like in the following:
...
And further lets go ahead and change both the Font and Font Size:
...
With this done copy the entire table (Using right click > copy, or CTRL C / Command C)
Open the template being edited, and paste it into the document in the desired blank space.
In the example used we have pasted it at the bottom as seen in the following:
...
Save the template and once again return back to the Export Template Section.
Upload the newly edited document that now includes the table:
...
You will be presented with the following prompt, if not ensure the names of the documents match as our intention is to update your existing template.
...
With this done return to the form and choose our new template.
...
Click the uploaded template and observe the template be filled out as intended:
...
In our example we have now successfully exported the table in order of Parcel Arrival Time, with the related fields appearing as expected.
Below continue reading to learn about the Copy Feature, for if you wish to make another similar template.
...
For time efficiency we have also included a Copy Feature, in that you can copy ALL settings from another already verified template.
This can be performed as in the following example:
...
If using the copy feature ENSURE to still follow the steps of downloading the table document, adding it into your template document, and uploading it once more, as this will not be done automatically.
