The Form Type dropdown in the 'Database' sheet will be automatically updated for the entire column when you add a new form type.
Changing the Form Type for Data Entries
In the 'Database' sheet, update the 'FormType' column for any data entry to the desired form type.
The columns in the sheet will be adjusted to show only the relevant data for the selected form type.
Adding Tags in Document Files
When creating or editing a form template, you can add tags in the document file to mark where specific data should be inserted.
Use double angle brackets to denote a placeholder tag, for example: <<TagName>>.
Ensure that the tag names match the column headers in the 'Database' sheet. For example, if you have a column header named 'Company Name', you should use <<Company Name>> as the placeholder in your document template.
