If it doesn’t work

What you see Why What to do
Branded service report is not in the gallery. The gallery offers it only when the org has Field Service. Ask an administrator to turn on Field Service.
The figures differ from the ones above. They are for the sample record and answers. Choose the sample record, enter the answers given, then choose Update preview.
Validate lists problems. Proof, approval and activation refuse a draft until it is clean. Fix them one block at a time and validate again.
A field you expect is not listed after @. You see only fields you can read. Fields two or more lookups away are not found by search. Open the lookup with its arrow in Insert and choose the field there.
A Show when section prints nothing, and neither does its Otherwise. The value the rule tests is blank on that record. Set If the rule can’t be checked to Show “Otherwise” instead.
DATA_COLLECTION_TRUNCATED The record has more related rows than the list allows. Raise At most (records) on that list.
The Generate a document panel lists no template. A template appears once it is approved, activated and shared with you. Finish check, approve and generate.
