When you select "Document Generation" from the main menu, you will arrive at the overview of existing configurations.

Here you will also find an icon to work with templates as described in the article above.
Press the "+" icon at the bottom right, or press the shortcut 'C' to create a new document configuration.





Name*: Here you specify a descriptive name for the configuration, for example "Product Sheet".

Template name*: Here you must select the desired template to be used. This must exist before you can create the configuration.

Media Role*: Here you select the media role that the generated document will have.

Changed products only: If this option is selected, a new document will only be generated if changes have been made to the product included in the template.
NOTE! This requires setting up a job in feed® that uses this configuration.

Search for products: Here you can enter a search query to define which products a job should generate documents for. If no search query is specified, documents will be generated for all products.
NOTE! This requires setting up a job in feed® that uses this configuration.


Once the configuration is set up, you will enter the section where you need to link data fields in the template to fields on the product card.

Step 1 is to retrieve which fields are available in the template. This is done by clicking on the icon as illustrated in the image below.

You will then see a list of variables for data fields and images. It is important to use clear and descriptive names as variables in the templates so that you understand which template variables should be linked to which data in the feed.

By clicking on the icon, you choose which variable to map, and then select the corresponding field or media role in feed® from the available options on the right side. This process is similar to mapping data during the import of Excel files, for example.

You can also add a new key to map in this window, but remember it will have no effect unless corresponding fields are also created in the template. Therefore, we recommend modifying the templates instead and updating the field list by retrieving the updated list from the template as shown in step 1 above.
