Self Assessment pdf
Best answer by john.desborough
- Typeform inserts the data in the Google Sheet
- I typically use a second tab for ‘reporting’ where i change the field names from the (typically) long question text to something that is shorter and easier to use in a merge document, along with any transformations and additions t columns of data (ie calculated fields, lookups, etc)
- I have created an output template document with the formatting and structure that I want to provide to users - the locations for the data from the record are indicated by using the column names (from the reporting tab) in curly brackets ie {{first_name}} - usually a Google Doc or a Google Slide
- using Document Studio (add-on to Google Sheets) I set up the File Merge - you do this on the ‘reporting’ tab where it asks you to select the template document type and identify the file, the system asks you to identify the output type - I always use the PDF option - and to provide a name for the file
- the add-on also allows you to set up the customized email and attach the pdf file to the email
- You then can test the merge option for both the file generation and the email to ensure that the data from the record is properly merged with the template into the pdf file
- I set this to operate ‘hourly’ on an ongoing basis so any new submissions/requests will have the pdf file generated and sent to them within an hour, depending on the timing of when the data hits the spreadsheet
hope this helps.
