Limitations and Notes

1. Currently, only the Form Page format is available. To download the Listing Page format, please refer to the Mail Merge.

2. When a sheet has too many fields and the width is excessive, the downloaded template may not show fields that extend beyond the page. Please refer to the Field Value Syntax Reference to add fields to the template.

3. The downloaded template will automatically place Subtable fields at the bottom. If you want to change the location of Subtables, you need to adjust them manually. Please ensure that different Subtables are not placed in the same row, which may cause issues when printing the report.

4. Currently, Image Upload, File Upload, Barcode fields, and fields using BBCodes cannot be displayed in the downloaded file.

5. The provided file formats do not support Excel. If needed, refer to Download as Excel or Mail Merge.

6. Currently, only all Subtable data can be printed; it is not possible to print only filtered Subtable data.
