# TITLE

The TITLE ConfigType manages name of the generated document. Use MergeFields in **Document Title** field of Doc Configs record to control the name. For every merge field in Document title, you have to create Title Config type for that Doc Config in PDF Butler Builder and map it to the relevant DataSource and field to fetch the data into those merge fields. The below example explains more detailed steps on how to achieve this.
