Create an RTF merge document that contains merge tags that will be replaced with data from the merge data source.
The merge tags must begin with "&EQ_" followed by the column name returned by the merge data source.
Example 1 - Using a Standard Merge Data Source
In this example, the Merge Data Source is the<Employee Expanded> standard merge data source and is specified on the Merge Document screen. A list of standard merge data source is found here. To view the column names for a merge data source, click on the name of the data source.
Click here for a sample RTF file which contains six merge tags:
&EQ_FIRST_NAME
&EQ_FROM_CITY
&EQ_TO_CITY
&EQ_START_DATE
&EQ_SCHEDULED_END_DATE
&EQ_RELOCATION_POLICY_NAME
&EQ_TO_COUNTRY
Example 2- Using a User Report
The same output can be also be achieved by creating a user report.
The column caption cannot contain spaces. A user report must include a filter for the relevant details to be returned.
Any data that comes from the user report must have "&EQ_" at the start of the column caption. When using a Standard Merge Source, you are restricted to using only the standard fields. Using a User Report as a Merge Source allows greater flexibility in returning data within the Equus Platform.

Example 3- Repeating Rows
It is possible to define a section of the document which will repeat once for each record that is returned. The below example contains multiple repeating fields displayed within a table.
You will need to signify the beginning of the repeating section by using the field &EQBEGINROW, then enter the fields you wish to repeat and close the section with &EQENDROW. Click here for the sample file.
