A Template is a regular Microsoft Word document (.docx file) with special tags in its text that determine where and how to merge/fill in data. There are three types of tags: Simple value, Condition and Loop or section.
A Simple value tag is simply replaced with a corresponding value. The tag’s name corresponds to the Key field’s value, which is placed inside double curly braces: e.g. {{name}}.

The Microsoft Word Templates app accepts only single-line plain text for replacement values. When adding line breaks, they will be viewed as spacesSubunits are created within modules to maintain organization and clarity, even with large amounts of data.

A Condition tag enables you to wrap certain parts of a text that should be rendered conditionally. To wrap the conditional text, place it between the opening and closing tags. The name of the opening tag is prepended with a hash sign #, the name of the closing tag is prepended with a slash /.
Template:
> {{#hasPhone}}Phone: {{phone}} {{/hasPhone}} > {{#hasEmail}}Email: {{email}} {{/hasEmail}}

A Loop or section tag enables you to repeat parts of a text. Similarly to the Condition tag, to wrap the repeated text, place it between the opening and closing tags. The name of the opening tag is prepended with a hash sign #, the name of the closing tag is prepended with a slash /.
When using loops, you can choose to employ either the Fill out a document moduleThe module is an application or tool within the Boost.space system. The entire system is built on this concept of modularity. (module - Contacts) More or the Fill a document with a batch of data aggregatorYou can use a table aggregator to create a table from multiple bundles. The table aggregator merges values based on your specified column and row parameters and outputs into a single bundle. One possible use is compiling blog posts or emails into a single email summary. More module.
If you employ Fill out a document module, the content of the field Value has to be an arrayWithin a bundle, data items of the same type are sometimes in an array. You can find an array by looking at the details of a bundle. Depending on the details of your scenario, you can map other modules to a specific item in an array or use iterators and aggregators to manipulate your data into other formats. When mapping,...

You can also execute a loop to populate a table. The example below shows how to create such table in a template:
If your data entries come as separate bundles, you may prefer to employ the Fill a document with a batch of data aggregatorAn aggregator is a type of module that allows you to merge multiple bundles into one single bundle. Aggregators are useful in making data readable for certain modules or generating meaningful output. Boost.space Integrator offers:
Array aggregator
Numerical aggregator
Table aggregator
Text aggregator
module. You can employ this module also if your data entries come as an array – just employ the iteratorWhen creating a scenario, use an iterator to divide one bundle into smaller separate bundles. Subsequent modules then process the bundles separately. One common use is when automatically uploading email attachments to a cloud drive. You can find iterators under the Flow control of the tools section. More module to transform the content of the array into a series of bundles.
The main advantage of the Fill a document with a batch of data module is that it enables you to easily setup the structure required for the Value field and map items to each value item. In contrast to the Fill out a document module, the field Values contains only a single entry, the actual entries will be created and populated for each incoming bundleA bundle is a chunk of data and the basic unit for use with modules. A bundle consists of items, similar to how a bag may contain separate, individual items. More. The template will be produced after all input bundles have been processed. The aggregator module is useful, especially when creating lists or reports.
Example: Export Google Contacts into a table
The first module loads the template. The next module retrieves all contacts from the specified group in Google Contacts. The aggregator module then aggregates all values retrieved from Google Contacts and merges them into the template. Finally, the last module will save the filled template to a desired location.
