Personalizing content
Variable-data printing is a form of digital printing in which elements such as text and graphics
may be changed using information from a database or data file. It prints unique documents with
customized messages for each customer. This is exactly what you can do with Connect: using
variable data you can personalize your company's communications (including but not limited to
printed matter).
Before you can start personalizing the content of a template, you must open a data mapping
configuration, Data Model, data file or database; see: "Loading data" on page833.
Alternatively, you could create a Data Model, without extracting data, within the Designer; see
"Changing the Data Model" on page1124.
The most common ways to personalize templates are listed below.
