Results Box

A Results Box is a neat way of display data from another bloc and have it appear within the bloc you are working on.

A random test of a a Results Box field where the value being looked up is "Hi"

Note: To determine what fields are shown or hidden in the results, this is controlled in the field parameters of the source data. All fields show by default but by using the Field Hidden option setting Hide in Data Results Box it wont appear in any Results Box fields. We are working to improve this, so that the fields that are shown or hidden in the results box can be controlled when building the Results box field itself, as opposed to changing parameters on the source field. This will you more freedom to build varying types of Results Boxes from the same bloc.

Note: This field can be used with .docx file tables to generate lists of data in our Template Builder. More information here.
