How to Guide
Note:
Prerequisite:
Make sure that you have uploaded a document. This document can be a Document Generation file from Salesforce or Titan Web.
Path:
Make sure that you add static and file custom variables:
- Titan Flow > Gear icon > Project Settings > Tools > Custom Variables > Static > Add a Static Variable (for instance, “file_id”)
- Titan Flow > Gear icon > Project Settings > Tools > Custom Variables > Files> Add a File Variable (for instance, “map”.)
- Click on the + icon to add a node. The Add Node screen opens.
- Under Action, select the Merge Files option and select the Next button. The Add Node/Document Generation screen opens.
- Do one of the following:
- Select the custom static variable from the IDs drop-down list. This is the ID linked to the document that you uploaded.
- Select the file from the Files drop-down list.
- Select the custom file variable from the Map To drop-down list.
- Select the PDF option from the Output format drop-down list.
- Select the Next button.
- Select the Next button, as this option has only one Word document that will be “merged” to a PDF.
- Type a tag if necessary and select the Insert button. The Document Merge node is added to the canvas.
- Save the project.
