Add Dynamic Merge Fields to a Document Template

Insert live Spiff data into your compensation plan document templates. Dynamic merge fields pull values directly from Spiff—such as a rep's team name, plan assignments, or quotas—or to data synced in from external systems like Salesforce or Workday. Spiff quota tables and fields that are mapped to the user object are available as dynamic merge fields. Spiff populates these fields when you send or preview a document.

User Permissions Needed
To add dynamic merge fields to a document template:	A Spiff user role with these permissions turned on. Documents: Manage Document Templates: Edit

1. From the Spiff navigation, go to Documents > Templates.
2. Open the template that you want to edit, or select New Template to create one.
3. In the Document Designer, click inside the document where you want to insert a field.
4. In the right panel, locate the Merge Fields section.
5. Under Dynamic Merge Fields, browse for the field you want to add.
6. Select the field to insert it at your cursor position.
7. Repeat steps 3–6 for each additional dynamic merge field you want to add.
8. Save your template.
   The dynamic merge field placeholder appears in the document. In the merge fields panel, dynamic merge fields appear with a visual indicator that distinguishes them from uploaded merge fields. When you preview the document or send it for approval, Spiff replaces each placeholder with the rep's current data.

Note If you delete a quota table or a dynamic merge field from a template, Spiff removes them from the template and from any document you haven't already sent. Documents that you previously sent aren't affected and they retain the values that you defined at send time.
