Connect 1.8 General Enhancements and Fixes
Native support for Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files
The Connect DataMapper can now handle Microsoft Excel files natively. The CSV data type
has been enhanced to automatically recognize *.XLS and *.XLSX files and use them directly
without any additional steps. Both the CSV Wizard and the Add Data options now allow you to
pick these file types. You can even use different types of sample files regardless of their
extension, as long as their formats match the data mapper configuration. (SHARED-58610)
Conditional Print Sections Wizard
A wizard has been created to simplify the process of creating conditional print sections. Simply
right mouse click a print section in the Resource panel and choose Make Conditional…
The wizard allows you to enter a basic condition based on a data field value and either skip or
print the section. When the specified condition is true the selected Action is applied (which can
be Print or Skip) otherwise the opposite is in effect. The icon of the section in the Resources
panel identifies if the section is printed or skipped. Use the Expand option to reveal the
underlying Control Script. (SHARED-47661)
Simplified Web Font support
Online font resources (such as Google Fonts) allow you to use their fonts for both commercial
and non-commercial projects. Using these online fonts in your documents is a matter of linking
to the Stylesheet file hosted by these services. Simply create a Remote Stylesheet entry and
paste the location of Stylesheet file in the URL field. This will make the font available to the
application. It will be added to the Fonts menu and can be used in your custom CSS
Stylesheets, via the font-family property. (SHARED-56637).
