Note
The Auto Save function does not cause backup files to be created.
File properties
On the menu, select File > Properties to view and complement the file properties. See "File
Properties dialog" on page955.
The file properties can also be used in scripts; see "template" on page1415. If you are not
familiar with writing scripts, refer to "Writing your own scripts" on page867.
Saving a copy / down-saving a template
The Connect software is backwards compatible: templates that were made with an older
version of Connect can always be opened with the newest version of the software.
But newer templates cannot be opened with an older version of the software.
Connect, however, allows you to save a template in the format of a previous version of the
software, so that you may restore a template that was accidentally opened and saved in a
newer version, or share a template with users of a previous version of Connect.
To down-save a template, select File > Save a Copy, from the menu. Select the software
version and click OK. Next you can select a location and give the template a name, as usual.
To save a copy, follow the same procedure without selecting a previous version of the
software.
Creating package files
A package file (*.OL-package) contains one or more templates, data mapping configurations
and Print Presets.
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197.
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1454 for more details.
