Outputting sections
Which sections are added to the output, depends on the type of context they are in.
When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print sections is added to the output
document, one after the other in sequence, for each record. The sections are added to the
output in the order in which they appear on the Resources pane. See "Generating Print output"
on page956.
In email and web output, only one section can be executed at a time. The section that will be
output is the section that has been set as the 'default'. See "Generating Web output" on
page981 and "Web pages" on page387 and "Generating Email output" on page973 and
"Email templates" on page370. The 'default' section is always executed when the template is
run using the Create Email Content task in Workflow (see Workflow Help: Create Email
Content).
It is, however, possible to include or exclude sections when the output is generated, or to set
another section as the 'default', depending on a value in the data. A Control Script can do this;
see "Control Scripts" on page645.
See "Generating output" on page953 to learn how to generate Print documents, Web pages or
Email.
Print
With the Designer you can create one or more Print templates and merge the template with a
data set to generate personal letters, invoices, policies etc.
The Print context is the folder in the Designer that can contain one or more Print sections.
Print templates, also called Print sections, are part of the Print context. They are meant to be
printed to a printer or printer stream, or to a PDF file (see "Generating Print output" on
page956).
The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating
Email output" on page973. When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print
sections is added to the output document, one after the other in sequence, for each record.
