This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the InsertFiles function in JungleDocs.

Description

Resolves specified documents and imports their content into a JungleDocs template.

Syntax

InsertFiles(recordSet; [updatable]; [clearFormatting]; [keepFormatting])

The InsertFiles function syntax has the following arguments:

• recordSet   Required. Any function that returns a recordset with items.
• updatable   Optional. A Boolean value. Makes the content control updatable, false by default. 
• clearFormatting   Optional. A Boolean value. Clears inline font and font size, leaves other formatting intact. False by default.
• keepFormatting   Optional. A Boolean value. Retains most formatting, paragraph and table styles, document theme and style set of the source document. It adjusts and copies all needed styles from source document to target, renaming duplicate styles. False by default.

Remarks

• The function is only supported in Word documents and only works with Word document content.
• The function must be placed at the root level of the document template; it is not supported in tables.
• If you set the function to be updatable, you will be able to use the Update Document Content from SharePoint command in SharePoint to synchronize any later changes in the document library content with the generated document. Otherwise, the content control is removed from the generated document after the initial content has been imported.
