Coding Documents (Legacy)
Document coding allows you to create templates that ESL Office can use to dynamically create documents using data from the system. This section describes document coding for Young Consulting's .Net version of ESL Office. If you are on the MVC or Utopia version of ESL Office, see the section Coding Documents (Utopia).
