Feel free to create your own template from scratch or customize one of your existing business documents, such as quotes, invoices, reports and the like. Either way, all templates must be in Microsoft Word format (.docx).
Decide on what kind of information you want to output in your document (this determines the kind of placeholders you will need to use in the next step):
The entire board or specific columns will be output as a table, including all items. Possible use cases: project report, charts, timesheet, tasks, product/service list, lead pipeline, …
The information of a single or several items from your monday board can be included in the document.
Possible use cases: contract, proposal, agreement, certificate, invoice, letter, …
Insert placeholders where you want to include data from your monday boards in your document. You can retrieve general information by adding placeholders within two curly braces.
Examples:
{{User.name}} – Name of monday user
{{Board.name}} – Name of monday board
To include the information from specific columns of your monday board in a table, a placeholder consists of the column title within two curly braces:
{{ColumnTitle}}
Examples:
{{Status}} – outputs the status column for all items in a board
{{Due Date}} – lists the due dates of all items in a board
To retrieve the value from a specific item (row) in your board, the placeholder consists of the prefix “Item.” and the column title within two curly braces:
{{Item.ColumnTitle}}
Examples:
{{Item.Status}} – data from an item’s status column
{{Item.Due Date}} – an item’s due date
In addition to the data you want to display, you can also customize the design of the template. To make these adjustments, you can simply use all the functions that Microsoft Word offers.
Here are some examples:
Insert your own logo (Please note that the DocExport logo is positioned in the header of the document, so you need to double click to edit.)
Add your company details to the footer
Change font, font size, spacing, etc.
Insert images
Add/change text
*Please note: If you want to generate a document for a board including all items, you have to use Microsoft Merge tables. To the instructions:
