Some Scenarios Where you Might Use SharePoint Data Doc:

 

Case 1:

You are a business which generates a lot of standard documents such as letters, faxes, memos containing individualised information such as names and addresses. Companies such as Accountants, Lawyers, Health Care Providers and Banks generally produce a lot of documentation such as this. The documents can be large and contain a lot of variable data pertaining to each Customer/Project whatever. In this case the templates can be set up with bookmark to the data already set up. The user can then create each individual document at the touch of a button rather than getting each piece of information from SharePoint and copying it in to the document. More than this, the user can select a batch of customers etc. for which to generate documents and produce a large number of them at the touch of a button, each one with individual data  taken from SharePoint.

Case 2:

You are a SharePoint solutions developer and you want to package template documents such as letters, faxes, memos with the solution (say a CRM) you are creating. You do not have the budget or skills to automate the document creation yourself, however you can leverage the product to do the same thing but at a fraction of the cost to you. Case in point, GTek Pacific in Vancouver Canada, who purchased licences for just this reason. They use the software to automate the creation of Invoices that are generated automatically by their solution and then either emailed or post mailed to customers. Take a Look at GTeks Use Case.

Case 3:

Creation of Ad Hoc reports by users for meetings, management etc. You can create your own documents representing the data in SharePoint as you see fit, store the template and reproduce as and when you need it. You can also reuse the parts that you create in different ways across different reports by simply popping bookmarks into your document.

Case 4:

Automate the sending of Emails with personalised content and personalised attachments using your SharePoint Data as the source.

·         Added the ability to carry out a batch update to a SharePoint list (!), this is very powerful functionality that is usually not available without coding.

So, it is located within the Table Definitions screen and allows you to update field in all of the SharePoint list items returned for the table query. You can select a Server Managed Document property from which to source the update value, or you can enter a literal value to update, while also selecting the field that you wish to update. Remember that if it is a Yes/No field then you must use 1’s and 0’s as your update values.

 

 

Once you have created the Update Query you can run it by refreshing the table in your document from the Ribbon and then select the Save with Update button from the Ribbon, which will execute the query.

All your SP list items for the fields and values specified will be updated in one query!
