Your Microsoft Word document for the invoice uses the tag syntax the Oracle Document Generator cloud service defines to loop over JSON data arrays and include values of data object properties. Notice the {#invoice} tag opens the data loop and the matching {/invoice} closes the loop. The invoice name in these tags is the Data Loop Name you defined in your Report Query, which used it as the JSON array name for the query result rows. Inside this loop, tags like {patient_name} and {balance_due} among others reference the relative names of JSON properties in the row of invoice data.
