# Package Builder Finish

## Finish

Once the wizard has completed the installation, there is a confirmation page which lists all the fields (and tables if applicable) that were created.

As the wizard mentions, your setup is not 100% complete—you will need to at least set the Template Sequence before you can build a package. The post-wizard setup is described in [Set up a package](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-set-up-a-package).

## The confirmation page

The **Finish** step shows, from top to bottom:

1. In bold: *Congratulations, you have successfully installed Package Builder in your Quickbase Application!*
2. In bold: *Your setup for generating packages is not finished!* followed by *You will need to set up the Template List on the <table> table!* and *Additionally, if you want this process to happen automatically, you will need to set up an Email Notification on the <table> table.* <table> is the table you chose in **Select Table to Setup**.
3. Two links, **Package Builder Template List** and **Email Notification Steps**. The steps they refer to are now in [Set up a package](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-set-up-a-package) and [Run a package in the background](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-run-in-the-background).
4. *The following changes were made to your application:* followed by **Selected Table** (a link to the table you chose), **Added fields to these tables**, and **Created Table**. The changes are listed below.

## What the wizard created

### Fields on the table you chose (the master table)

| **Field** | **Type** | **What it's for** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Package Builder Status** | Text | Package Builder writes the result of each run here, for example *Process Successfully Completed on* and the date and time. See [Run details and status](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-run-details-and-status). |
| **Package Builder Template Sequence** | Formula - Text | The Record ID#s of the templates in the package, separated by periods, in the order they run, for example *4.3.1.2*. The wizard leaves it empty; you fill it in. |
| **Package Builder Batch Arguments** | Formula - Text | The parameters for runs in the background. The email notification that you create sends this field's value to the Package Builder address. It ends with *type=packagebuilder* (US) or *type=packagebuildereu* (EU), which must match that address. |
| **Process Package (Progress Bar)** | Formula - Text, with **Allow some HTML tags** | A **Process Package** button that runs the package and shows its progress in a pop-up window. Until the template sequence is set, the field shows *Template List not set. Please finish the setup for this Package Builder.* instead of the button. |

The wizard also adds a **Package Builder Batch Email** field (Formula - Email), which isn't listed on the confirmation page. It holds the address that background-run notifications are sent to: *packagebuilder@mail.quickbasetools1.com*, or *packagebuildereu@mail.quickbasetools.com* for apps in the EU. The wizard doesn't create the email notification itself, a trigger field, or an **Execute** button; see [Run a package in the background](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-run-in-the-background). For details on these fields and their parameters, see [Formula URL parameters](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-url-parameters).

### Fields on the Document Templates table

| **Field** | **Type** | **What it's for** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Add-On** | Text - Multiple Choice: *Exact Forms Plus*, *XL Docs*, *PDF Stamper*, *PDF Merger* | Which extension runs this template as a step of the package. |
| **Arguments FID** | Numeric | The field ID of the master-table field that holds the arguments for that extension. |
| **Not Required in Package** | Checkbox | When checked, the package is still built if this step fails. |

### Created table

**Package Builder Run Details**, related to the master table, with the fields **Related <master>**, **Process Details**, and **Addon ran**. Package Builder adds a row here for each step of each run. See [Run details and status](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-run-details-and-status).

For background runs, the wizard also creates a batch configuration for your app, of type *packagebuilder* (US) or *packagebuildereu* (EU), and adds its **configid** to **Package Builder Batch Arguments**. See [Batch Config Portal overview](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/batch-config-portal-overview).

## Next steps

1. [Set up a package](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-set-up-a-package): fill in **Add-On** and **Arguments FID** on your templates and set the template sequence.
2. [Run a package from a button](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-run-from-a-button)
3. [Run a package in the background](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-run-in-the-background), if you want packages built automatically.
4. If you see a message you don't expect, see [Package Builder messages and troubleshooting](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/package-builder-messages).
