Auto-Mapping Lookups
You may have noticed that there are two Lookup Fields "Contact" and "Account" that get auto-populated if the Salesforce Record ID (recordId URL Param) matches a record in Salesforce. This happens automatically at the time of creating a new Document Trace (i.e. when a document is viewed). Relating Document Traces to Contacts/Accounts allows you to expose a related list of Document Traces on the Contact/Account page layout, showing an audit trail of each time when a document template has been interacted with by the specific Contact or Account.
Creating Custom Mappings
You can also create custom Lookup Fields to standard or custom objects, and the app will automatically identify the record and update the Lookup Field accordingly. For an example, if you want a Template to be generated off the back of a custom "Application" object record (or object from a Managed Package), then you just need to create a Lookup field on the Document Trace object that looks up to the Application object. From then on, the application will automatically populate the new Lookup Field with the ID of the merge record used for generation of the document.
