When you are creating a document template in Obit, the first two icons in the top menu are most important; the first allows you to 'insert token' and the second - the lightbulb icon - allows you to 'Insert Data Table'

The tables give the user a set of options for handling different groups of funeral data.

This article explains what each option will generate in a final document.
