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) 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
Amazing @D_M !! Thanks for sharing
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
Multiple line item tables: https://youtu.be/TdVuZPjfZq0?si=yHb2FyufUe6383qM
Let me know if you have any questions re. this!
How did I miss this! Integrating today. Thank you.
Awesome @tyler_1
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My hacky way before has now been replaced by gold.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.
@tyler_1 Amazing!!!
I’m getting an error “Could not generate PDF” and I have no way of knowing what exactly is wrong.
@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
Not sure what you mean here by “one page at a time can be printed”? Can you elaborate?
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.
