Object Usage
channel (see
"Channel" on
page1500)
The channel for which output is generated. This is registered in the
merge object: merge.channel.Note that the channel doesn't change
when the output consists of different contexts. When generating email,
for example, the channel is EMAIL, even when merging the Print
context to attach it to the email.
"context" on
page1506
Object that contains one context and its sections. It is accessed through
the template object: merge.template.contexts. To get access
to one context, you have to specify the ContextType (see "ContextType"
on page1501), for example: var printContext =
merge.template.contexts.PRINT;.
Through the merge object you can find out which context is currently
being merged: merge.context.
"masterpage" on
page1470
The masterpage object is used to set a Master Page's header and
footer or to replace its entire HTML body.
"merge" on
page1526
The merge object gives access to the template with all of its contexts
and sections .
"record" on
page1381
The current record in the main data set. To get the value of a field in the
record, use record.fields['fieldname'] or record.fields.fieldname.
"section" on
page1515
Much of the Control Script magic is performed by setting one of the
fields of the section object. Via the section object you can omit,
select and clone sections; add a background to a Print section; add a
header to an email; etc.
A section can be retrieved via the context that it belongs to, using
merge.template.contexts.ContextType.sections
["section name"]. For example:
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section
EN"].
"template" on
page1497
The template object contains all contexts and sections. It is accessed
through the merge object: merge.template.
