Documents: Adding 'Merge Tags' to your document templates

This article explains how you can setup your document templates to automatically populate with employee data.

Updated over a month ago

You can insert Merge Tags directly into document templates within Sense, or use external documents to automatically populate employee information.

Step 1: Either open up your document template within Sense or open up your external document


Step 2: Enter the Merge Tag that you wish to use. If using an external document, copy and paste from below. When using templates in SenseHR you can select the Merge Tag from the list for basic Merge Tags:

Notes:

  • If you have used an external document, please convert this to a PDF before adding to Sense.

  • All merge tags are case-sensitive

  • Ensure you leave enough space for the information being merged onto that line.

Below is a list of basic Merge Tags that you can add to your documents, if you require further Merge Tags (such as future job details, or custom Merge tags), please view the article here - Advanced Merge Tags
