DocsAutomator enables grouping of line items by specified variables to create structured tables. Groups can be customized with styling options and calculations.

General Setup

Configure grouping in automation settings by selecting a placeholder/variable as the grouping key. The system then organizes line items according to values for that variable. Example: Grouping by “Status” variable creates separate sections for each status value.
Merged cells will be unmerged when grouping is active.

Styling Options

Group headers support customization via a gear icon menu:

Manual Sorting

When selecting manual sort order, you can specify group values and their sequence. Unmentioned values appear afterward in alphabetical order.

Group Calculations

Calculations generate summary rows below each group for numeric/currency columns.

Supported Operations

Configuration Options

Group calculations only work for number or currency number columns. Number format is automatically detected and maintained.

FAQ
