Use translation workbench values for merge documents in multiple languages
Currently the field tags for merge documents pull the information from picklist fields directly from the list of available values in the field definition. This is problematic in an work environment where multiple languages are used for the merge documents as the merged values appear only in the one language used to define the picklist values. It is also problematic when tagging picklist fields that are populated by an external (3rd) system. At such integrations, the picklist values of a field usually contain some "abbreviations" instead of the real value. The real value of the field is displayed using translation…

Table replication with page break
In case of table replications, sometimes it is required to start the new table on a next page rather then continuing just after the end of previous table. This makes the content cleaner and more presentable on the final output document. This should be made possible via an optional configuration.

DocGen Form Date Formatting
DDP Form date fields are currently hard coded to display in US date format (mm/dd/yyyy). We need date fields to show in the date format per our regional settings (ie dd/mm/yyyy for Aus users).

Allow Addition of Metadata & Extraction of Doc ID
We use Document Generation in SharePoint to turn submitted forms into DOCX & PDFs. Works well. What I'd like to be able to do is associate metadata to my newly generated document in the same step - AND/OR - get the ID of the newly generated document upon it's generation, so I don't have to go back and query for something I've just created and add a pause.

Add 'NOT' operator to the Filter
Add 'NOT' operator to the Filter
suppose you have a DDP for a generic contract and some DDPs for specific contracts, eg. a generic DDP 'Contract' and a specific DDP 'Contract Florida'.
With a 'NOT' operator we could add a filter in the DDP for the Florida DDP 'Florida' and in the DDP for all other states we could use 'NOT Florida'17 votesHello!

Make the field tagger get field label value instead of the API value
We had noticed that the field taggers return the API value of the picklist field instead of the actual label value, hence any changes to the actual value on the field doesn't replicate on the field tagger and the value returned is incorrect.

Improve/Customise Error messages
Currently the error messages are user unfriendly and full of unhelpful jargon. It would be a great improvement to translate the error messages into lament terms so Admins and Users can benefit alike.

Row replication and Table replication should include iterator variable
Row replication (i.e. <<Calls_Start>> and Table replication (i.e. CallsTableStart>> should include an iterator variable (i.e. <<Calls_Iterator>>) so you know which row number or table number you are on (i.e. 0,1,2,3)

Option on Mass DocGen to Merge All Output
While Mass DocGen from a report allows us to create a large number of documents at once, printing these efficiently involves a lot of babysitting.
Say you generate 2,000 documents that need to be printed and mailed. Your documents are output into the DocGen Queue. Because Lightning list views only allow the selection of 200 items, you have to repeat this process ten times:
1. Scroll DocGen Queue list view down to expose 200 or more records.
2. Select 200 records.
3. Click Download 1 PDF button to merge them into a single PDF.
4. Wait 5-6 minutes for the…15 votesWe are evaluating this for our next round of development. Please share any information with us that can help us improve your experience!

Implement a form of duplicate check when migrating DDP's across Salesforce environments
It would be extremely helpful to add some form of duplicate check to the DDP Migration process. This will allow users the ability to make changes to a single environment and push the changes across an organization without having to log in to each environment or worry about duplication of records.

Update Existing Content
I'm currently using 'Salesforce Files' which creates a content record for the DDP. Salesforce supports content versioning making it easy for users to 'attach a new version' however this isn't supported in Drawloop.
It would be next level, if you could give us options to insert a new file, but if it exists, update the content. This would give us one static URL to the content and make navigating our Notes & Attachments sections much easier!

Enable Rich Text Fields in Drawloop Documents
Drawloop Document Generation does not support tags of Rich Text Fields in a document template. This needs to be enabled as we use have large RTF data fields that need to be dropped in but cannot.

Find which Document packages a template is used in
I frequently reuse the same template for more than one doucment package. This makes it easier to manage the branding by only updating a few templates.
When making a change, it would be helpful to have a report showing which document packages the template file was used in.

Date tag formatted to only bring in the month and day in ## formatting
The field tagger allows you to format the year as ## (09) but is missing the individual month (01) and day (02) tags.
Example use case: wanting to format the date as 02.01.09 or 02 January 2009 in the generated template

Set Mass Report recipients based ona text field in the Mass Recipient Report (comma separated emails).
Right now the mass recipient report in a scheduled report can only go to a single contact/user/lead per line of the mass recipient report. Instead, I'd like to merge a column from the mass recipient report which consists of a list of emails, maybe into the Additional To: or CC: field, like you can do with Dynamic Addresses & the field tagger in the regular DDP.
Without this, to send a single report to emails stored on our 180 chapters (custom objects), I either need to maintain 180 distribution lists and create contact records for them, or maintain 180 Scheduled…

Allow prioritization of automated DDPs
When documents are requested via Workflow and Outbound Message, they are queued up on the servers in the order that the messages are sent (FIFO).
Where some of the requested documents are more time sensitive than others, it would be great to be able to flag to the OB Message so that the server would identify that request as high priority and generate it before the other (not high priority) documents in the queue.
A possible deliverable could be a second parallel Queue whose documents would always generate before any in the main queue allowing for FIFO on the high…

Translation of Pop up Screen without creating VisualForce Page
The App layout (Pop up screen) when the user want to create a Document the Drawloop question do appear standard always in the English language.
In multiple Language companies this is not wished and also this questions should be showed in their own language.
