Customization

This sample application is provided as a reference implementation and can be freely customized to suit your specific healthcare requirements.

You can modify the templates, data sources, processing logic, and output formats based on your use case. If you have any questions, need clarification, or require assistance while customizing this sample, please feel free to contact our Syncfusion Support Team for guidance.

Limitations

  • XML element names must match Word template merge field names for successful data binding
  • For repeating XML elements, the template group name must match the repeating tag name, not its parent wrapper (e.g., if <Component> repeats inside <Components>, use «GroupStart:Component» in template)
  • Highly complex or unusual XML structures may require template and data alignment adjustments
