This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the FindItems function in JungleDocs for Office 365.

Description

Returns items from a SharePoint list, filtered by specific values.

FindItems(listTitleOrUrl; columnName; value; [additionalParameter; additionalParameterValue])

The FindItems function syntax has the following arguments:

listTitleOrUrl Required. A SharePoint list name. List URL is also supported to specify the list on another site.
columnName Required. A SharePoint column name (internal column name is recommended).
value Required. The value to find items by.
additionalParameter Optional. An additional parameter: a SharePoint column name (lookup columns, choice columns, and Boolean columns are also supported) or a date condition.
additionalParameterValue Optional. The value of the additional parameter (text or number).

To use the FindItems function, you need to create a repeated section by adding content controls to a template.
Additional parameters are supported in JungleDocs 3.6 and later.
You can use an unlimited number of additional parameters in a formula.
