To test a template first, select Context > Preflight. Preflights execute the template without
actually producing output and it displays any issues once it's done (see also: "Testing scripts"
on page862).
Sending files to Workflow
Workflow can generate output from a template in automated processes. For this, the template
has to be sent to Workflow. Alternatively you may create a Package file (see "Creating package
files" below) and import that into Workflow.
The Send to Workflow dialog sends templates, data mapping configurations and Print Presets
to the Workflow server.
A data mapping configuration file contains the information necessary for data mapping: the
settings to read the source file (Delimiter and Boundary settings), the data mapping workflow
with its extraction instructions ('Steps'), the Data Model and any imported data samples. For
more information see "Data mapping configurations" on page226.
Print Presets make it possible to do such things as filtering and sorting records, grouping
documents and splitting the print jobs into smaller print jobs, as well as the more standard
selection of printing options, such as binding, OMR markings and the like. See "Job Creation
Presets Wizard" on page1159 and "Output Creation Presets Wizard" on page1173 for more
details.
To open the dialog, select File > Send to Workflow. For an explanation of the options in it, see
"Send to Workflow dialog" on page992.
Creating package files
The Package dialog saves templates, data mapping configurations and Print Presets as a
Package file (*.OL-package).
A data mapping configuration file contains the information needed to extract data from a certain
type of data file. For more information see "Data mapping configurations" on page226.
Print Presets make it possible to do such things as filtering and sorting records, grouping
documents and splitting the print jobs into smaller print jobs, as well as the more standard
selection of printing options, such as binding, OMR markings and the like. See "Print Presets"
on page1415 for more details.
Package files can be imported into Workflow oropened by other Connect users.
To open the Package dialog, select File > Package.... For an explanation of the options in it,
see "Package dialog" on page960.
