Doc Merge pulls data from Sugar® records into professional-quality documents such as contracts, quotes, NDA agreements, form letters, and labels. For on-site customers, Doc Merge may need some additional configuration. For example, you may want to change the server that Doc Merge is communicating with for speed and/or legality purposes. Additionally, you may need to ensure that the appropriate IP range is open on your firewall to allow communication between Sugar and the Doc Merge server. This article will walk you through how to configure both.
Sugar's Doc Merge feature lets users quickly create labels from multiple records without leaving Sugar. Using simple templates that you upload into Sugar, you can easily merge record data with your formatted template and even include data from related records. The example use case in this article walks through creating mailing labels, but you can apply the steps to other use cases like extracting product information for part labels and more.

If you are familiar with the wDocs tool, these statements are constructed through "Conditionals" in the Template Builder. This article describes how to manually construct these statements in a Doc Merge document template and provides example templates you can modify and use to meet your needs.
Templates are required for merging documents with Sugar's Doc Merge feature. This article provides sample document templates you can use and provides instructions on how to use these sample templates.
