The provided placeholders supply project-related information, including details concerning the project itself, weather services, project members, and contacts. Primarily featured on the title page, header, and footer of a report, these placeholders serve as key reference points.

Placeholders for documenting project members and attendance
For many report creators, documenting the presence of individuals at a site or in a meeting, along with those who need to be informed, holds significant importance.There are two categories of attendees in docu tools - active users on the project and contacts - companies or vendors who do not work with the app and have no docu tools users. For further insights on project members please refer to this article and for contacts this one. This distinction leads to the existence of two types of placeholders that can be employed within the report.
Project members attendance
The following placeholders display the docu tools users within a project using a table format that showcases the user's name and company, along with two checkboxes: V
representing "distributed" (applicable for users not present but to whom the report will be sent), and A
for "attended."
NOTE: These placeholders are only available for reports in Word format.
{{project-members-attendance}}
- Presents a list of active users exclusively.{{project-members-attendance-all}}
- Shows a list of all users, including those who are deactivated.{{project-members}}
- Lists all active users without the columns for "attended" and "distributed".
Contacts (Attendees)
For documenting the attendance of individuals who are not users of docu tools, we employ the "Contacts" feature along with specific placeholders for attendees.
NOTE: These placeholders are only available for reports in Word format.
NOTE: The inclusion of all attendee placeholders is structured within a section marked by an open and close tag format. The section starts with the opening tag {{attendees}}
, followed by the addition of other attendee placeholders in the usual manner. To conclude, the section is terminated by the closing tag {{/attendees}}
. It's important to note the presence of the additional /
specifically in the closing tag and not in the opening tag.

How to use pin fields to document attendance
The introduction of pin fields offers an alternative method for documenting attendance. You can now create a number pin field for each company name. Subsequently, create a new pin on the plan, specifying the date of the report, inspection, or meeting. Within this pin, you can input the number of attendees from each respective company. Additionally, text fields can be utilized to include attendee names or any supplementary notes.
To display the information in the report, simply employ these pin fields in a report template using the corresponding placeholders. For further insights into using pin field placeholders, please refer to the dedicated article.
