So, the 1234 equates to my Document template ID in my database and the filename is also mirrored in a 'Template Name' field in the database. They all have a unique name and a unique template id in the format of 1234doctemplate01. I've put copies of all the Word documents into a folder on my Mac. With Troi Text Plug-in you can get XML nodes out of XML formatted text and parse the info into separate fields in your database. To render FusionCharts, create some basic fields such as chartType, containerid, chartWidth, chartHeight, dataFormat and dataSource and set their type to text. If I have to do one or two in a session it's pretty simple to drag the latest version of each template to the Container field but recently I've been having to do 10s/100s of Document updates very quickly to get them into our system. We've recently had an update to the system I support (not a Filemaker system) and many hundreds of the Word templates have been updated. I have an app that manages Document Templates, ie Word documentsĮach Document Template master record contains information about that template, plus connects to a Document Samples table that contains one Word document (the template) and one PDF document (an output of the template file when used, a bit like mail merge).

Im running Filemaker Server 19 and FileMaker 19 client
