This feature allows you to automatically remove entire lines or rows from documents when placeholder values are empty or not provided.
Use Case
In document scenarios like invoices, if no discount is provided, the entire discount line can be deleted rather than appearing blank in the final output.
How It Works
| Context | Behavior |
|---|
| Placeholders outside tables | Entire lines are deleted |
| Placeholders in tables | The complete row is deleted |
| Line items | Entire line item rows can be removed if their placeholder values are empty |
Implementation
Line and row deletion is enabled through the settings icon adjacent to each placeholder or variable in your template.
Open Placeholder Settings
Click the gear/settings icon next to the placeholder you want to configure
Enable Deletion
Enable the “Delete line/row when empty” option
Test
Generate a preview document with empty values to verify the deletion works correctly
Advanced Combination
This feature can be used together with Conditional Show/Hide. When a value is hidden based on specific conditions, enabling row deletion will remove the entire line or row from the document.
Example
Before (with empty discount):
Subtotal: $100.00
Discount:
Tax: $10.00
Total: $110.00
Subtotal: $100.00
Tax: $10.00
Total: $110.00
Key Benefit
Removes visual clutter and creates cleaner, more professional documents by eliminating empty fields entirely rather than leaving blank spaces.
