DocGen User assignment automation.
I am working on a salesforce site that will have thousands of users and it would be very helpful if we could assign users the DocGen User permission set automatically, at the time of user creation as opposed to manually adding them individually via the DocGen Admin Tab.

Pass parameters to Drawloop through a lightning compatible form
Working with parameters is easy at the DDP level but if an end user wishes to pass through parameters as part of their "query" to create a document, their experience isn't as seamless as what it could be.
A common method is to create a Salesforce form but this form is presented in the classic interface.
This request is either to pass parameters directly via the DocGen widget or to work with custom forms using the Lightning interface.

Require an attribute that could be reported on or tracked which captures the number of pages of pdf which Nintex renders in a given batch
Require an attribute that could be reported on or tracked which captures the number of pages of pdf which Nintex renders in a given batch.
The general benefit to this is having an attribute that can be used to help keep track of how many pages there are in the system as well as a way to track general traffic in the system. If you pole on this new attribute and see that they processed 500k pages when the norm is 50k, that could raise a flag for you to look into and determine what could be the reason. Additionally,…

Use Excel as Middleware to export to Excel or CSV file
It would be great if we could use Excel as Middleware to output to another Excel or .csv file. Currently the only options are Word and PowerPoint. My deliverables are .csv

Please upgrade the use of static Ids on the formula fields
Please upgrade the use of static Ids on the formula fields and provide a way to effectively deploy them to rest of the environments. While using a lot of packages, it takes up a lot of manual effort and chances of error missing the ids are more.

Allow for export of Lightning Dashboards -- currently Classic-only
Currently you only support sending Classic-view Dashboards to the output file. Please add support for the newer, significantly nicer Lightning components.

Ability to set metadata on generated file
It would be very beneficial to be able to set some metadata for example, Document Status = Draft when a new document is generated. This is on the ContentDelivery object.
So when the object sets the Status to Approved, and generates a new file, then the metadata should be updated to reflect the Document Status as Approved.

Allowing for specification of a contact and cell phone number for SMS authentication would greatly enhance the integration with OneSpan.

Row Replication for Insert-Update Task's Field
My DocGen Package has an Insert-Update that creates a Task. I'd like that Task's Description field to list data from multiple records related to the main object. Can row replication work for populating Fields, instead of just for templates? Thanks!

Merge documents from AWS CloudFront
Provide the ability to pull documents from AWS CloudFront and merge into package. Providing the ability to preview before saving the final document will be a real plus.

Allow Opportunity Contact Role to serve as starting object
Allowing OCR to serve as the starting object would allow a user to pull from both the Opportunity and Contact objects for a given OCR. Currently you need to use SOQL to do this.

Need integration with new Excel Array functions
Excel has new array functions such as UNIQUE and FILTER. While these are currently in beta, they are available through the Insider program. Microsoft has not given a date for the release of this new functionality, but why wait. It would be great if Drawloop can incorporate these in sooner rather than later.

Build API into Drawloop that can be called by using apex only
It would be good if Drawloop could have API’s that could be called directly via apex without needing tables (external or otherwise) or drawloop packages either.
So the API would just pass the id of the document template, and the data to be mapped to it, perhaps in a map or json structure where you could have a matchup like this:
"<<field1>>" : "Fred"
"<<Filed2>>" : "Smith"
etcSo that given an document template, the data to go on it and the field tags could be sent via the apex API without requiring involvement from a Salesforce object or needing…

Nintex DocGen for Salesforce should have an option to stop sending scheduled report email when the report contains no records.
There should be an option box i.e. "Stop sending email when no records are found" in the Nintex DocGen package configuration for scheduled report type, and, when it is enabled, the Nintex DocGen should stop sending email to the users. In other words, the Nintex DocGen should initiate mail communication only when the baseline report contains some data.

prevent unhandleable attachments from appearing in list of ad hoc files
allow user to filter available/required 'ad hoc' object types (i.e., files vs feed item).
As it is, the checkbox list of available attachments that DocGen provides includes unhandleable object types that cause errors when selected.
E.g.:
"No Unknown record found matching id: 0D51T00006w0****** (MetadataInvalid)
Include this Error Id if you contact support: b1cd6aff-f788-43e0-8e7f-328112ed3e9d"The user has to engage in a process of trial and error in order to avoid the attachment options that will produce errors. this becomes unworkable when dealing with large numbers of attachments
