Simple Mail Merge Operation

A simple Mail Merge is used to fill the Mail Merge fields inside your template with the required data from your data source (single table representation). So it is similar to the classic Mail Merge in Microsoft Word.

You can add one or more merge fields in your template and then execute the simple Mail Merge operation. It is recommended to use it if your template does not contain any merge regions.

The main limitation of using this type is the whole document content will be repeated for each record in the data source.
