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844.
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.
Template
There are countless ways to customize the template to meet your exact requirements. You
could, for example:
l Add text, images and other elements (see "Content elements" on page664)
l Change the layout (see "Styling and formatting" on page785)
l Change the "Media" on page540
l Change the "Master Pages" on page537
l Add sections (see "Print context" on page513)
In order to further personalize the letter, you need to open your data mapping configuration.
(See: "Personalizing content" on page830.)
Tip
The Designer can have one data mapping configuration and one template open at the
same time. Use the tabs at the top of the workspace to switch between the two. Click the
synchronize button on the Data Model pane to make sure that the Data Models are the
same in both.
When the template is ready, send it to Workflow (see "Sending files to Workflow" on page482).
Finally, in Workflow, adjust the process: double-click the All In One task to open it, and select
the new template on the Content Creation tab. This is only necessary when the file name has
changed.
Send the Workflow configuration to the server (see Saving and sending a Workflow
Configuration in Workflow's Online Help).
