Document Generation Features List
The following table includes a list of functions that are related to document generation, or DocGen. Each column in this table represents either the Agreement, Quote/Proposal, standard Salesforce, and custom objects. While every function is completely supported for the Agreement object, there are limitations for the Quote/Proposal, standard Salesforce, and custom objects.
This list is a representation of all document generation features by Object Type.
The following list is a representation of the notation used:
- X = supported out of the box
- NSP = not supported
- CSP - Comply System Properties
- PSP - Proposal System Properties
The table below provides the required setup, if there is a necessary configuration for a document generation feature. In order to see what you must configure for a particular object, the configuration settings are noted under that corresponding object in the table.
For example, to use the Merge Service Endpoint feature for document generation on a custom object, you must configure Remote Site - Salesforce Admin Setting and CSP Endpoint.
