Text Binding

About this article

This article will explain what Text bindings are and how they can be created from the Dynamics Designer. 

Prerequisites

What is a text binding?

Text bindings are the most commonly used bindings in Templafy. They're often used to insert values from a form using the binding syntax. In more complex cases they might be used in combination with static text or have multiple bindings in one.

How to set up a text binding?

1. Open Templafy task pane in your Office application/start your document creation flow
2. Go to the ellipsis menu in the task pane and click on Dynamics Designer
3. Go to the Element tab
4. Select Text in the first dropdown
5. Add your bindings
6. Click Create 

Visibility binding

A visibility binding is almost exclusively used with an IfElse() function for the purpose of hiding/showing bindings. There are two properties that can be used with visibility: VisibilityType.Visibility and VisibilityType.Hidden

Examples of visibility bindings can be seen in this article: Element binding visibility

Remove and keep content

If checked, the content control will be removed and the binding will just show as plain text. The text will be editable by users. Document updater will not apply. 

Disable updates

If Disable Updates is checked, no changes will be applied when using document content updater. By default, it's unchecked, allowing updates.
