Mail Merge Dynamic Tables Sorting and Selection
Hello, Our issue is as follows: We have added in our mail merge template a dynamic table which pulls data from Zoho CRM Modules. However, when the mail merge output is populated, the order of the dynamic table rows is based on the creation date. This makes the dynamic table useless for us. We need to be able to sort these rows besides the creation date. 1: Is there a way to adjust the row order and control this through a filter? Or can we perhaps achieve this through a custom function in the meantime?Links no longer functioning in PDF form

Hi, I am using the writer application and using it to merge data from a csv into a document template, and then send that for sign. My issue is that when I click 'Configure Sign Workflow' and the Merge And Sign popup comes up, I want to check off 'Remember these settings for future merges'. However, when I check this off, the next time I go to do a merge the settings are not remembered. Is this a glitch, or am I doing it wrong?Tip #26: Filter your records before merging a document
Tom is an HR executive who has to send onboarding emails every month to newly joined employees. He has a master spreadsheet with all the employee details, and new employees are added to them as they join. It's the month of March and Tom has to send onboarding emails to employees who've joined this month. But, how is Tom going to go through a big spreadsheet with multiple new and past information, and send onboarding emails to the set of newly joined employees?

I would like to use Zoho Flow and Writer templates to create highly programmatic Writer documents. The desired process would be as follows: The user fills out a Zoho Survey or Zoho Form which is used as the trigger for a Zoho Flow. Zoho Flow then uses Deluge functions to create additional calculated fields of text (for example, if the user selected a specific set of options, then the field "Technical_Recommendation_01" would be set to a short paragraph of pre-defined text.

I am a student at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro studying collaborative writing tools for a group project, and need 2 persons with any type of experience using Zoho Writer that are willing to be interviewed.

My group is focusing only on tools created primarily for writing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The questionsAlphabetical sorting needed in Docs
It is ridiculous that folder contents can not be sorted alphabetically in Zoho Docs on the Web. It is frustrating and time consuming to have to scroll down a jumbled list of files looking for the one you want, rather than going straight to it. The available options of sorting by Last Opened, Date Modified or Created Time do not help at all. I would imagine that alphabetical sorting is a basic requirement for most users.How to restore deleted files?

Hi Support, I am having several problems when attempting to create a merge document in Zoho Writer for use in Zoho CRM. Situation: I have created a multiple page merge document in Writer. This contain a header with images as well as tables. The format is fine before I merge. Problem: 1. When I merge the document I lose the image in the header and the alignment of header text is corrupted. I also lose tick box images in the body of the document. 2. When I convert the merged doc to PDF or MS Word,Hide dynamic "Saving" and "Last Edited" text from the top of documents
I really like Writer except for one thing. As I'm editing documents, it shows me this dynamic text at the top. As I type, it says "Saving..." and after I'm done typing, it says "Last edited [add number of minutes or hours or whatever ago]." It's very distracting to have that text constantly changing/updating while I'm trying to focus on my writing! Unfortunately, I don't see a way to hide this text so I don't have to see it... and be distracted by it. Is there a way to hide it? Please PLEASE sayCorrection orthographe

Is there a way to display the top row of a dynamic table as the top row of every page the table ends up being on?

Tom is an HR and he wants to bulk send onboarding letters to all the new employees, with each letter attached with the responsibilities unique to each employee's designation. Conventionally, since the attachment is unique to each employee, it would be manually added to the respective employee's letter. However, since Tom has to send out 200 letters, manually adding these attachments would be a strenuous and time-consuming process. Using Writer, you can easily attach unique files to multiple lettersAsk the Experts: A 5-hour live discussion on all things Writer

Need help: What is the difference between setting up the form automation function via a Template and via Document? It seems that if I were to go via Zoho Forms, that I would need to have a template ready to go in Zoho Writer and then map the form outputs on the particular template. However, if I were to set up the form and then set up a zoho document, I could then have the form's outputs be mapped onto the particular document.
