Nested Custom Table Entities in a Template

If there are Custom Tables which have a relationship, the template can include the parent custom table fields and all of the related child custom table fields.  There are only a couple of steps involved in creating a table that contains a list of related child records.

Create a new table in Microsoft Word that contains exactly two rows and however many columns you want with one column per field you want to merge.

In the first row, you need to specify which field should be merged into each column. You do so by using the following format:
Designer.[TABLENAME].[FIELDNAME]
You must always start with the word Designer followed by a period. Specify the table you want to merge in followed by a period. Specify the field name.
Example: Designer.Services.Duration where Services is the name of the table and duration is the field that you want to place into that cell.
