Hi @D_M, Barcodes are stored as SVGs in Glide currently. DocsAutomator only supports JPG and PNG as of now, but I hope to support this soon! Best, Rupert ---

Actually i did my research and found easy way to insert barcode into a DocsAutomator template. U have to create a template column in glide data (**[https://barcode.tec-it.com/barcode.ashx?data=[yourCodehere]&code=Code128&translate-esc=on](https://barcode.tec-it.com/barcode.ashx?data=%5ByourCodehere%5D&code=Code128&translate-esc=on)**) insert ur SKU value into those brackets, and then in my DocsAutomator template i simply create a (image\_sku\_150) thing an voila my barcode appears there ---

Any news on whether DocsAutomator supports relations → dynamic lists? ---

@Robert_Petitto Unfortunately not. Maybe @Jason can give us an update! 🙂 ---

Standing by for that update. This would be super powerful. Workaround works well though. ---

Hi @tyler_1, including line items is now possible 🙂 Single line item tables as well as multiple line item tables. Please see the following demo videos: Single line item tables: [https://youtu.be/ov-2xXliqxQ?si=aH7U29mWRtLIhXtU](https://youtu.be/ov-2xXliqxQ?si=aH7U29mWRtLIhXtU) Multiple line item tables: [https://youtu.be/TdVuZPjfZq0?si=yHb2FyufUe6383qM](https://youtu.be/TdVuZPjfZq0?si=yHb2FyufUe6383qM) Let me know if you have any questions re. this! ---

@Rupert Was able to quickly create a huge report for an APP I built for members of a Jiu Jitsu gym. The Gym uses it to track attendance to classes and allows its members to track their promotions and see the notes of classes like a learning tool. The report created lists every class they have attended, line\_items to the rescue. I will be integrating this soon with a logistics company I am building an APP for that will generate receiving documents, orders, shipments, and BOLs. My hacky way before has now been replaced by gold. Thank you. ---

@tuzin Please reach out via chat so we can get this working again 🙂 The issue in your case is that the line items table has more or less than two rows. Happy to fix this for you quickly ---

Hi Rupert - Congratulations and Well Done! - It looks like a great addition to the ecosystem. I am trying to implement it now. I can see how one page at a time can be printed, I have another question open about how best to organise a pdf from selected records in a collection - I don’t think that would have bene possible prior top the release of the latest Glide workflow functionality ---

Happy to help @alan_singer! Following @ThinhDinh’s comment, I would need a bit more context to understand your use case. Feel free to reach out DA’s chat as well! ---

Thank you @ThinhDinh When I say “one page at a time” I mean one button click in the app will generate one PDF - with detail about one record I am wanting to initiate a process that with one click on a button, the app will cycle/loop through a collection and create a few lines of output from selected rows and produce a report that has data from all rows that fit the selection criteria ---

So I assume you already have some kind of relation/query that pulls the “collection” of lines related to a row? ---

@ThinhDinh I must admit, (and this may be a throw back to my COBOL programming days) I thought that it could be possible to use the LOOP function in workflows in conjunction with any filter that may be available in the Loop function. I have only JUST subscribed to MAKER so just about to explore the LOOP function - which I understand can’t be initiated via an app interaction but needs to have one of the other specified triggers. IS that a valid thought? ---

It’s not a bad idea, so I would say it’s a valid thought. However, you still need to build some sort of JSON as a final payload to send to DocsAutomator. I think it’s perfectly possible, but I don’t know if it’s too complex to the level I don’t want to test it within a workflow or not. I have always build my payloads using computed columns.
