Section generator

The Section generator allows you to dynamically generate document content for every object in an object set. This generation step happens when a Notepad document is generated from the template (see figure above for a visualization of the concept).

To set up a Section generator, add it by clicking + Add Widget or typing / in a paragraph field to open up the widget insertion menu and choosing the Section generator. Then, connect an object set template input by selecting the widget and configuring the Generator object set as shown in the figure below.

Connect embedded sections with generator

To connect an embedded widget's input parameter with its surrounding Section Generator, you need to set the parameter to Object from Generator. This parameter will be automatically selectable for widgets inside generators that accept object template inputs.

The figure below shows an example for an object property.

Sort objects with the Section generator

To sort the objects that are returned from a generator, use the Sorting controls. Select an object property to sort by from the Sort by dropdown. Note that the number of objects that can be sorted is capped at 2000.

The figure below shows an example of sorting Airline objects by the Number of Aircraft property.

Template configuration

• Generator object set RID: An object set to pass to the Section generator. The Section generator content will be generated for each object in this set. Note that the number of objects that can be passed is capped at 30 objects. Objects exceeding this limit will be ignored.
