Field Type Description
channel "Channel" on
page1439
The final output channel: EMAIL, PRINT or WEB. The
channel doesn't change when the output consists of
different contexts. When generating an email, for
example, the channel is EMAIL, even when merging
the Print context to attach it to the email.
"context" on
page1445
Context The context rendered by this merge run. If for one
record, different contexts need to be output (for
example, when the Print context is attached to an
email) a record is merged multiple times: once per
context. Per merge run, merge.context shows with
which context the record is merged.
pagination "Pagination" on
page1467
Contains the total page count and sheet count of all
sections in the Print context after pagination.
"section" on
page1454
Section

Note! In Control Scripts, merge.section is only
available when the output channel is WEB. To make
sure that it is defined, use the following statement: if
(merge.channel == Channel.WEB &&
merge.context.type == ContextType.WEB) { ... }.
To retrieve any section in a Control Script, use:
merge.template.contexts.ContextType.Section
['Section name']; (for example:
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section
