Multi Variables

Multi variables are what set SILQ apart from most mail merge systems. It allows you to generate rows of data that are relevant to the currently selected record.

Multis variables are of the form <multi:value:order>

The value tells the system which database to iterate through. This is generally context sensitive so it know what records to get. Ie when generating the Chronology multi it needs to know which matter it is being done for.

Example values are:
WIP:
This will iterate through all of the Time Costed entries for the selected Invoice Disb: This will iterate through all of the Disbursement entries for the selected Invoice. Invoice: This will iterate through all of the Invoices for the selected Matter.
FirmInv: This will iterate through all of the Invoices for the selected Client
Auth: This will iterate through all of the Authority entries for the selected Matter. Chrono: This will iterate through all of the Chronology entries for the selected Matter. Estitem: This will iterate through all of the Estimate items for the selected Matter.

Many of the multi's have alternative order options so that you can have the records generated in a specific order. Refer to the template editor for the full list.
