EAWordTemplate

This document was generated using Claude.ai

Overview

Processes Microsoft Word document templates by replacing placeholders with entity data. Reads a template document, substitutes template variables with actual values, handles table loops for detail collections, and generates a final document with entity-specific content.

When This Action Runs

Manual execution for generating entity-specific documents like invoices, contracts, reports, certificates, or any Word document that needs dynamic content based on entity data.

How It Works

1. Reads template - Loads Word document from entity flow attachment or specified field
2. Processes placeholders - Finds and replaces template variables in format @#fieldName#@
3. Handles table loops - Processes repeating sections for detail collections (invoiceLines, etc.)
4. Replaces image markers - Inserts images from binary fields using image(fieldName) syntax
5. Generates document - Creates final Word document with populated data
6. Applies protection - Optionally makes document read-only with password protection
7. Saves result - Stores generated document in specified attachment field

Parameters

Parameter 1: Save To Field (Required) - Target attachment field to save generated document (e.g., "attachment", "generatedDoc")

Parameter 2: Read Attachment From Field (Optional) - Source field for template document (e.g., "customer.remarks")

Parameter 3: Do Not Make Document Read-Only (Optional) - "true" to keep document editable, "false" for read-only (default: false)

Parameter 4: Generated File Name Tempo (Optional) - Template for output filename using entity data

Template Syntax

Basic Field Replacement

@#fieldName#@
@#customer.name1#@
@#valueDate#@
@#moeny.netValue#@

Image Insertion

Insert images from binary/attachment fields into the document:

image(fieldName)
image(customer.logo)
image(productImage)

The system will:

• Extract the image data from the specified field (must be a LargeData/attachment field)
• Replace the marker with the actual image in the document
• Automatically detect image format (PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF)
• Size the image to 100x100 EMU (default size)
