Scenario
You need to create a file containing the names of preferred customers. You can
then use this lookup file to determine whether a contact is a preferred customer,
and generate labels for preferred customers only.
Type Designer and Map Designer Tasks
Use the Type Designer to create a type tree that defines the lookup file data
structure.
Use the Map Designer to create a map that generates a text file containing the
preferred customers you enter in the map rules on the output card.
You can then use the Map Designer to make a copy of the ContactToFullLabel
map and use the
EXTRACT function in the map rule for the Label group type.
