Customizing the project
A project is a great starting point for building an OL Connect solution. This part explains how to
make changes to the project.
Do you intend to expand the project into a solution where Workflow runs on a different machine
that also has a different regional setting? Then indicate the desired encoding in the Designer
preferences (see "Sample Project deployment settings" on page912) before installing the
project.
Input data
If you want to add other parameters to the URL and use those data in the template, here's how
to do that:
1. Run the project, add more parameters to the URL and let the process save the input data
to a file (see "Saving input as sample data" on page179).
2. Use the file to create a new data mapping configuration that extracts the additional data.
(See "Creating a new data mapping configuration" on page223.)
3. Send the new data mapping configuration to Workflow (see "Sending files to Workflow"
on page482).
4. Open the Workflow configuration, double-click the Execute Data Mapping task to open it
and select the new data mapping configuration.
5. Use the data in the template (see: "Personalizing content" on page830), send the new
template to Workflow and select it in the properties of the Create Web Content task.
6. Send the Workflow configuration to the server (see Saving and sending a Workflow
Configuration in Workflow's Online Help).
Alternatively you could use input data from a Web form. This is demonstrated by another
Sample Project: .
Web page
There are countless ways to modify the template. You could add text, images and other
elements (see "Content elements" on page664) and change the layout (see "Styling and
formatting" on page785).
