Deleting a row or column in a table in a template (WF:DelRow and WF:DelCol)

Deleting a Row

Sometimes it is necessary to delete a row in a table in a document template if certain conditions are met (or not met).

This can be done by including the tag: “WF:DelRow” in the table row that you want to delete on assembly.

You will need to impose a condition around deleting the row, otherwise the table row will always be removed. So to implement the tag, you need to surround the WF:DelRow with an IF statement like so:

{ MERGEFIELD IfStart:A Condition_yn = 'true' }
WF:DelRow
{ MERGEFIELD IfEnd:A }

Deleting a Column

Similarly sometimes it is necessary to delete a column in a table in a document template if certain conditions are met (or not met).

This can be done by including the tag: “WF:DelCol” in the table row that you want to delete on assembly.

Again, you will need to impose a condition around deleting the row, otherwise the table column will always be removed. So to implement the tag, you need to surround the WF:DelCol with an IF statement like so:

{ MERGEFIELD IfStart:B Condition_yn = 'true' }
WF:DelCol
{ MERGEFIELD IfEnd:B }
