The Folder Capture task reads the project's Workspace path from a global variable. The value
of that variable is set by the Project Wizard when it installs the project.
Customizing the project
A project is a great starting point for building an OL Connect solution. This part explains how to
make changes to the project.
Do you intend to expand the project into a solution where Workflow runs on a different machine
that also has a different regional setting? Then indicate the desired encoding in the Designer
preferences (see "Project Wizard deployment settings" on page861) before installing the
project.
Input data
Here's how to adjust the project to input data that has a different structure or file type or comes
from a different source.
1. Create a new data mapping configuration to match your input data. (See "Creating a new
data mapping configuration" on page198.)
2. When it's finished, send the new data mapping configuration to Workflow (see "Sending
files to Workflow" on page446).
3. Open the Workflow configuration: Print Promotional Data.
4. Double-click the Folder Capture Input task and change the file mask, or replace the task
by the appropriate Input task. See: Input tasks in Workflow's Online Help.
5. Double-click the All In One task and select the new data mapping configuration on the
Data Mapper tab.
Note
If the input data is JSON, you don't need a data mapping configuration: JSON data can
be used in a template as is. See: "Adding JSON sample data" on page794.
However, if you want the data to be saved in the Connect database, let the XML/JSON
Conversion plugin convert the JSON to XML and create an XML data mapping
configuration to extract the data.
