Sending files to Connect Server or to another server
When OL Connect plugins in a Workflow process need templates and other configuration files,
Workflow sends the necessary resources to the Connect Server. The Send files to Server
dialog provides a way to send templates, data mapping configurations and print presets to the
Connect Server directly, or to another server. This removes the need to upload them via the
REST API in a Run Script plugin in Workflow, or via a tool like the Postman app, in case the OL
Connect plugins are not used or when you are using a different automation tool like Node-RED.
To open the dialog, select File > Send to Server. For an explanation of the options in it, see
Send to Server dialog.
Exporting a template report
A template report can be used for archiving purposes or to provide information about the
template to people who do not have access to Connect. Such a report can be exported in PDF
or XML format. By default it contains a summary of the template with an overview of all the
settings and resources that are used in the template: media, master pages, contexts, sections,
images, scripts etc. The file properties are included as well (see "File Properties dialog" on
page955).
To open the Export Template Report wizard, select File > Export Report. For a description of
all options, see "Export Template Report wizard" on page954.
Creating a custom template report
The Export Template Report wizard also offers the possibility to export custom template reports
(in PDF format only). A custom template report could contain another selection of information
and present that differently, e.g. with the logo of your company.
To create a custom template report, you need two files: A template design with the desired
layout and variable data. This .OL-template file has to be made in the Designer. A data
mapping configuration provides the variable data. You could use the data mapping
configuration made for the standard template report, or create another one in the DataMapper
module, using the standard XML template report as data sample.The DataMapper is included
only in PlanetPress Connect and PReS Connect. Data mapping configurations have the
extension .OL-datamapper. The following zip file contains both the template and data mapping
configuration that are used to generate the standard template report:
