# Subitem Level Template

{% hint style="info" %}
When generating an **Subitem Level template**, the information of **a single subitem** from your monday board can be included in the document.

Possible use cases: product labels, product specification sheets, task sheet,...
{% endhint %}

## Create a template <a href="#create-a-template" id="create-a-template"></a>

Create your own template from scratch or customize one of your existing business documents in **Microsoft Word format (.docx)**.

### Add general placeholders <a href="#add-placeholders" id="add-placeholders"></a>

Put placeholders where you want to include data from your monday board.

To retrieve **general information**, add placeholders within two curly braces.

Examples:

`{{User.name}}` – Name of monday user \
`{{Board.name}}` – Name of monday board

Please browse our [Placeholder Directory](/template/placeholder-directory.md) to find a list of the most common placeholders along with detailed information.

### Add subitem placeholder

To retrieve the **value from a specific subitem** in your board, the placeholder consists of the prefix “Subitem.” and the column title within two curly braces: `{{Subitem.ColumnTitle}}`

Examples:

`{{Subitem.Status}}` – data from an subitem’s status column\
`{{Subitem.Due Date}}` – an subitem’s due date\
`{{Subitem.Product SKU}}` – an subitem’s product number

### Add parent item placeholder

You can also include data from the parent item with the prefix “Item.” and the column title within two curly braces: `{{Item.ColumnTitle}}`

Examples:

`{{Item.Name}}` – the parent item name\
`{{Item.Order Nr}}` – the parent item order nr

### Example use case: Box Shipping Label

In this example, you have a board containing orders and want to generate PDF labels for each subitem, which you can then print and attach to shipping boxes.

Each item contains client and order information, along with subitems representing the relevant product details. For each product subitem, you want to generate a label that combines information from both the subitem and its parent item.

### Subitem Template Automation

Subitems template can also be used in monday automations. After defining the "Actions/Automation" (e.g. save to file column and/or send via email) for your subitem template, create a new monday automation:

* In your monday board, click on "Automate"
* Create from scratch
* Select the trigger (e.g. When subitem status changes)
* Add the DocExport action -> Search for "DocExport" and select "Generate DocExport subitem document"
* Select your template and save
