Introduction
Exporting a record to a Word document allows you to generate a structured document containing data from a specific record. This is particularly useful for creating reports, contracts, or formal letters that require pre-formatted content populated with system data.
Prerequisites
Before exporting a record, ensure the following:
- The record you want to export is fully populated with the required data.
- A Word template has been set up and mapped to the record fields.
- You have the necessary permissions to download documents.
Exporting a Record to Word
Opening the Record
- Navigate to the relevant workflow where the record is stored.
- Open the record you wish to export.
Accessing the Export Option
- Click the context menu (⋮) in the top-right corner of the record view.
- Select "Download Word Document" from the dropdown list.
Generating the Document
- The system will automatically merge the record data into the associated Word template.
- Depending on the size of the document and the amount of data, this process may take a few moments.
Saving and Reviewing the Document
- Once the document is generated, your browser will prompt you to open or save the file.
- Choose the appropriate action (e.g., Save to your local drive or Open for immediate review).
- Open the document and review the content to ensure that all mapped fields have been correctly populated.
Troubleshooting
“Download Word Document” option is missing
- Ensure that a Word template has been uploaded and mapped to the record.
- Verify your permissions with an administrator.
The downloaded document does not contain the correct data
- Check if the record has all required fields populated before exporting.
- Confirm that the template mapping is correctly configured by contacting your administrator or Support.
The document does not open after downloading
- Ensure that you have Microsoft Word or a compatible program installed.
- Check your browser’s download settings to locate where the file was saved.
Next Steps
After exporting the document, review the content to ensure accuracy. If adjustments are needed, consider:
- Editing the record and re-exporting the document.
- Updating the Word template to ensure correct field mapping.
