Using Lava with Merge Documents

For the most part your Lava skills will all work with Merge Templates. There are a couple of tricks, though, that we'll outline below.

  • While merge templates can be used on any entity type, they'll most often be used on people. To help make your templates work with as many 'grids' of people data as possible we convert group member entities to people.
  • Should you need access to the group member data (e.g., group member attributes) you can use the GroupMember property on the person like: {{ Row.GroupMember | Attribute:'attributekey' }}
  • Be sure you're using straight quotes and not curved or stylized quotes. For instance, {{ 'Now' | Date:'MMMM d, yyyy' }} is correct, while {{ ‘Now’ | Date:‘MMMM d, yyyy’ }} will likely give you an error.
