This includes custom snippets, preferences and syntax profiles. For more information see Customization. Emmet Abbreviation preferences This Preferences tab lets you add and manage custom abbreviations. All standard abbreviations can be found in Emmet's documentation: Abbreviations.
Emmet Output preferences The Output Preferences dialog is used to control how the expanded (output) code behaves when expanding abbreviations and snippets. There are 6 different dialogs to control output and, while they all have identical options, they control different output types: CSS, HAML, HTML, XML, XSL and the "Default" one controlling the rest of the types. These options are equivalent to Emmet's syntaxProfiles.json feature.
In the example above, ${lang} is used to refer lang variable defined in variables below. If your primary language is, for example, Russian, you can simply override lang variable with ru value and keep the original snippets. Also, you can override variable values with inline abbreviation attributes: html:5[lang=ru]. l Name: The name of the variable. This should be a single alphanumeric string with no spaces or special characters. For example, the myVar name is referred to as ${myVar}.

Engine configuration The Connect Server cooperates with different engines to handle specific tasks. A DataMapper engine extracts data from a data file.
Connect categorizes print jobs on the number of pages they will produce. What constitutes a Small, Medium or Large job can be configured per server (see below, in "Allocating processing power to jobs" on page 133). There is no distinction between small, medium and large jobs for Email and Web output. This topic explains all of these settings and the principles behind them, and it provides guidelines for letting the Server manage the workload in such a way as to achieve the highest possible output speeds.
which means the total maximum output speed is 10,000 PPM per output type (Print, Email, and Web). One engine needs at least one free speed unit to be able to create output. It is important to note that only output operations are limited by this quota. l l l Weaver engines always require a Licensed task to run. Merge engines only require a Licensed task when creating Email or Web output. Merge engines involved in a Print process don't need a Licensed task in order to run.
As a rule of thumb, you will want to run one less engine in total on a machine than the system has cores, leaving one CPU core free for the Connect Server and the operating system to use. Modern hardware typically has both full cores and hyper-threading or logical cores. The logical cores should not be counted as a full core when determining how many engines to use. As a guide, count logical cores for only 25%-50% of a full core.
DataMapper engine Adding DataMapper engines might be useful in the following circumstances: l l l When large data mapping operations have to be run simultaneously for many jobs. When frequently using PDF or XML based input. Particularly in the case of XML input with large individual records. When the All In One plugin is used often in Workflow configurations and there are more than two Merge engines running.
Also keep in mind that the Connect Server and the operating system itself will need memory to keep running. Allocating processing power to jobs Which engine configuration is most efficient in your case depends on how Connect is used.
Medium jobs will be those that fall between the maximum pages of a small job, and the minimum pages of a large job. The number of engines used for small, medium and large jobs is configurable (see below). Running a job as fast as possible Number of parallel engines per Print job Two or more engines of a kind can be combined to work on the same Print job. Generally jobs will run faster with more than one engine, because sharing the workload saves time.
3. Set the Target speed when running simultaneous jobs for small, medium and large Print jobs. 4. Click OK or Apply. Dividing processing power over jobs There is a number of ways in which you can divide processing power over output operations of a certain kind and/or size. l l l By reserving engines for jobs of a certain kind (and size, in the case of a Print job). Note that reserved engines cannot be used by any other type of job. This means there will be fewer engines to handle other jobs.
l If no, or not enough, Merge engines are available then the job will have to wait until the required number of appropriate Merge engines becomes available. The following limitations apply at all times: l l The maximum number of concurrent Merge engines working on jobs of the same kind or size may not be exceeded. If no - or not enough - speed units are available for that type of output, the job must wait.
Automatically restart engines to safeguard system availability l l l l l l Time Limit checkbox: This enables engine restarts to be scheduled to occur either after a specified period of time, or within a daily time window. This means daily Engine restarts can be scheduled to run outside of production hours. Rolling restart checkbox: This sets the engines restarts to occur in a "rolling" fashion, whereby each engine is stopped and restarted individually, one after the other.
l l For the Designer specific preferences, see the "Parallel Processing properties (Designer Preferences)" below section on this page. For the Server Configuration specific preferences, see the "Parallel Processing properties (Server Configuration)" on the next page section on this page. For additional information on how these preferences can enhance performance, see "Engine configuration" on page 128 and "Performance considerations" on page 35.
Merge engines to new tasks as they arrive. Thus a running Content Creation task need not block other tasks. If multiple Merge engines are processing a task, an engine can be taken from that task and reassigned to a new task. As each task finishes, any freed up Merge engines get re-assigned back to still running tasks, if no new tasks were waiting. This option is better for on demand (ad hoc) and simultaneous job processing.
Whether options are available for selection on this page or not is entirely dependent upon the Number of engines selection made in the Engines preferences page. If either of the Merge Engines or Weaver Engines were set to a value beyond one, then options will become available in this Parallel Processing properties page. Preset selection (Server Configuration) Choose from some common usage scenarios.
Content Creation Tab (Server Configuration) A Tab with data that relates solely to Content Creation. The options are: l l Total Merge engines configured read only display: This is a read only entry that shows the total number of Merge engines available. To change this value, you must update the Merge Engines in the Engines preferences page. Multi tasking group: When starting a new Content Creation task, the task will immediately commence if there is a Merge engine available.
Note These entries aren't applied instantaneously. There is often a lag. That is why you can reserve a specific number of engines for new jobs, in the options below. Those reservations operate in real time. The default of 100 records was chosen purely because it is an easily multiplied number, not because it has been proven to have any significant value. It means that on an average system (i.e., less than 10 Merge engines) any decently sized task is allowed to use all Merge engines.
l On demand task size limit (records): An on demand task is a task that has someone (or something) waiting for it to finish, so these typically need to finish “as soon as possible”. Often these are single documents but not necessarily always. This option allows you to designate what a Content Creation on demand task is, based upon the number of records. ------------------Output Creation Tab (Server Configuration) A Tab with data that relates solely to job Output Creation.
Note The terms "job" and "task" can be used interchangeably. l l Small job max (pages): Enter the maximum number of pages a job can have and still be considered Small. Large job max (pages): Enter the minimum number of pages a job must have before it is considered to be a Large job. Reserved engines group: These settings allow you to reserve some Weaver (Output) engines for small and medium Output Creation tasks.
job. This allows you to prioritize one or more type of job above the others. For example, if your production process normally handles lots of small jobs, you might want to provide the smaller jobs greater speed (throughput) than the less frequent Medium and Large jobs. But if there are so many small jobs that they start limiting the throughput of larger jobs? If there is always at least one small job running, then the maximum speed for the larger job will stay at half of the licensed limit.

Note that Workflow isn't limited to Connect functionality. It was originally developed as part of the PlanetPress Suite. Many of the plugins in the Workflow configuration tool are older than Connect. They were left in for compatibility reasons, even though they aren't all useful or usable within Connect.
The Connect Server Configuration tool lets you change the settings for the Connect server, the engines and the service that cleans up the database and the file store. These settings can also be made in the preferences of the Designer. The Connect database The Connect database is the database back-end used by Connect itself when processing jobs. It can be either the MySQL instance provided by the Connect installer, or a pre-existing (external) instance (see "Database Considerations" on page 25).
The engines DataMapper engine/s. A DataMapper engine extracts data from a data file. The number of DataMapper engines is configurable (Engines preferences). Merge engine/s. A merge engine merges data with a template using the scripts in the template, in order to create (Print,Email or Web) content items. The number of merge engines is configurable (see Engines preferences): it can be increased depending on the capacity of the machine that runs the solution (see "Performance considerations" on page 35).
Printing and emailing from the Designer To print or send email from within the Designer, the PReS Connect service has to be running. The service is started automatically when the Designer starts, but it may not be running if the Connect Server and the Designer are installed on different computers. The PReS Connect service can be found on the Services tab in the Task Manager. For a proof print the Connect server is not used. Proof printing is always done locally, by the Designer.
To workaround this issue, we recommend downloading and manually installing the latest Visual C++ Redistributable from https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2977003/the-latestsupported-visual-c-downloads then re-running the Connect 2019.2 installation. Issues associating PDF files with Connect. Under certain circumstances, Connect Setups prior to 2019.2 would fail when attempting to add the "Enhance with Connect" association with PDF files. This would then cause the setup to appear to fail.
The Update Client OL for Connect 2019.1 does not cater for standalone Connect Print Manager installations The Connect Print Manager is a standalone Connect tool that is used in production sites to manage print jobs. It can be installed and run on standalone machines without a Connect license. The Update Client for Connect 2019.1 looks for a Connect license as part of the update process, but it will not find one on standalone Connect Print Manager installations.
As "Scale to Fit" is now switched on by default in all standard Connect 2019.1 AFP and IPDS Printer Definitions, none of those should encounter the issue. This issue will be fixed in a subsequent patch release.
Backend database might require periodic maintenance Databases maintain a variety of statistics in order to optimize performance. When high levels of inserts and/or deletions occur, the statistical data keeping can struggle to keep up. Over a period of prolonged and intensive processing this can result in a degradation in performance, with the whole database slowing down as it struggles to clean itself up.
C:\Users\\Connect folder. This issue will be fixed in a later release. Job Creation Presets: External Sorting change introduced in 2018.2 Versions prior to 2018.2 did not correctly save the line end characters for external sort configurations in Job Creation Presets, which meant the job could not be externally sorted. This issue has been fixed in version 2018.2. However, Job Creation Presets created with an earlier version may still have the wrong line end character for external sorting.
The currently known backward compatibility issues are listed here: All charts l l l Legend position: The position of the legend is not converted. It defaults to 'left' in a converted chart. Rows are series/Columns are series: Only one type of data structure for detail tables is supported in the new version: the one that corresponds to the former Columns are series setting (with which charts display one series per record, one bar/point per data field). After conversion to 2018.
Minor differences in PCL, AFP and IPDS output introduced in 2018.1 The browser component (Mozilla Gecko) used in the WYSIWYG editor of the Designer was updated for Connect 2018.1. This allows use of new CSS properties, such as flexbox. However this update could lead to increased output file sizes for some PCL, AFP and IPDS jobs. This is generally not a cause for concern, however there might be some associated increase in processing times, as well as some minor differences in the output.
Print Output: Booklet Impositioning changes introduced in 2018.1 When Booklet Impositioning is enabled, all pages within a document need to be changed to duplex prior to Impositioning . The method for duplexing jobs has been changed to now always combine existing pages into the front and backsides of sheets, rather than adding empty backsides to any simplex pages. The result is that now every document in the job becomes a booklet without any empty pages between the first page and the last page.

Switching languages Changing the language using the Window > Preferences > Language Setting menu option does not currently change all of the strings in the application to the selected language. This is a known issue and will be fixed in a later release. In the meantime we offer the following workaround for anyone who needs to change the language: 1.
PostScript print presets The print presets for PostScript were changed from Version 1.1 onwards meaning that some presets created in Version 1.0 or 1.0.1 may no longer work.

Using Capture after installing Workflow 8 If PReS Connect Workflow 8 is installed alongside PlanetPress Suite Workflow 7, Capture can no longer be used within Workflow 7. The plugins are now registered uniquely to Workflow 8 and the Messenger for Workflow 7 is taken offline. It is only possible to use Capture from PReS Connect Workflow 8 thereafter.

Every time output is generated, the Designer and/or Connect Server and any engines involved in the operation produce their own log files. Each component writes its log files to a dedicated subfolder of the Log folder. Merge engines write to the logs/Mergeengine folder, Weaver engines to the logs/Weaverengine folder, DataMapper engines to the logs/Datamapperengine folder, Server to the logs/Server folder, and so forth. Note that actions of the Cleanup service are only logged in the Server's log file.
l l The Designer's logging preferences are set via the Designer; see: "Logging preferences" on page 857. The Connect Server's settings are maintained by the Connect Server Configuration utility tool; see "Server Configuration Settings" on page 124. The logging level that is set applies to the Server as well as the engines. The Designer's log messages are also displayed in the Messages pane (see "Preflight Results and Messages" on page 1046).

OL Connect projects An OL Connect project is an automated process, or combination of processes, in which the Connect Server and Database are used. (For an overview of the architecture of the OL Connect software, see "Connect: a peek under the hood" on page 169). Typically, an OL Connect project aims at automating (part of) a company's communication with its customers, suppliers, or other parties.
Wizards" on page 985 in the online help or the Project Wizards overview video on the OL Learn website. Typically, in an OL Connect project there is a number of Workflow processes that communicate with the Connect Server, Database and/or File Store through one or more of the specially developed OL Connect tasks. For help on building these Workflow processes see "Workflow processes in OL Connect projects" on page 221 and "OL Connect tasks" on page 223.
There is an introductory Project Wizards overview video on the OL Learn website. For generic information about Connect solutions and their components, see "OL Connect projects" on page 178. Note The projects require that the Connect Server and Connect Workflow be installed on the local machine. These are the projects that can be installed with a wizard. l l Print promotional jobs.
and PDF. In order to create the PDF, the data are merged with a Connect template. (See: "Project Wizard: COTG Timesheets" on page 188.) Project wizard: Basic Email The Basic Email project wizard creates an OL Connect project that sends emails with two attachments: a Return and Refund Policy (PDF) which is the same for all emails, and a delivery note (PDF) which is attached to the email dynamically. The email has a mailto link.
Testing and running the project Once the project wizard has finished the installation, the project is ready to be tested. 1. If the templates and data mapping configurations haven't been sent to Workflow yet, do that first (see "Sending files to Workflow" on page 470). This requires that the Workflow service is running (see Starting the Workflow service in Workflow's Online Help). 2. Locate the Workflow configuration in the project folder and open it in OL Connect Workflow. 3.
Project details The email template The email's design is in the EM_BASIC Email Message template. It contains one Email section (see "Email templates" on page 539). Styling is done via style sheets (see "Local formatting versus style sheets" on page 753). The style rules are in the context_htmlemails_styles.css file. Note how they use HTML tags, IDs and classes to select elements. (See also: "Selectors in Connect" on page 891.
"Variable Data" on page 813.) l l The To and Subject scripts apply to email fields. (Click Email Fields at the top of the email to expand all email fields.) For information about this kind of scripts, see: "Email header settings" on page 543. Finally, there are two custom scripts: l The Personalize Support link script adds the order number to the 'support team' link (which is a mailto link). The Year script puts the current year in the footer.
The data mapping configuration The Workflow process uses a data mapping configuration, made with "The DataMapper" on page 238: EM_BASIC Data. To open the data mapping configuration, open the Designer, select File > Open from the menu and browse to the Configurations\Resources folder. This data mapping configuration will of course only work with the appropriate data files. It was designed for XML files that are structured like this file: Sample Data.xml (in the Configurations\Resources\Data folder).
To see the script, click on the DeliveryNote field in the Data Model pane at the right; then take a look at the Step Properties pane (in the middle). To see where the property is defined, click the Preprocessor step on the Steps pane (at the left); then look at the Properties section on the Step Properties pane. 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.
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 data from a JSON file" on page 810. However, if you want the data to be saved in the OL Connect database, put the XML/JSON Conversion plugin before the Send to Folder task to convert the JSON to XML, and create an XML data mapping configuration to extract the data.
Workflow configuration The current Workflow configuration is very simple. In reality, a process that generates email output will be part of a larger project, in which, for example, invoices are produced in a separate process, stored in a folder and attached to an email at a later time. For general information about processes in Workflow see About Processes and Subprocesses, in the Online Help of Workflow.
Finally, you need a valid COTG account, Repository ID and password. You could use dummy data to create the Project Wizard and finish the installation, but you won't be able to test the project. For more information about the options, see: "COTG Timesheets - Project Wizard" on page 987. Tip If you own PlanetPress Connect or PReS Connect, free COTG trial licenses may be available to you; see http://www.captureonthego.com/en/promotion/.
Note The process is pre-configured to use the sample data file, which comes with the project, when it runs in Debug mode. Alternatively you could copy the sample data file to the In folder. 5. Launch the COTG app and log in using the COTG account that you entered in the Project Wizard. 6. In the app, open the Repository and download one of the forms. 7. From the app's Library, open the form. 8. Enter data and draw a signature. 9. Submit the form.

COTG Timesheet Report The COTG Timesheet Form data mapping configuration is designed to extract the data that are submitted via the app. It first extracts the common fields, and then the information from the rows in the form, in a loop.
l Finally, the Output to Capture OnTheGo task sends information about the form to the COTG Server. Double-click the task to see how variables are used in its settings. The Delete task is an Output task that does nothing, actually; it doesn't even remove anything. However, this step is useful when running the project step by step in Debug mode. Tasks will only return their output to the process - where it can be viewed - as long as they are followed by another task.
preferences (see "Project Wizard deployment settings" on page 862) before installing the project. The form If you want to add inputs to the form and extract the submitted data, here's how to do that. 1. Open the Web section and add elements to the Web Form (see "Using COTG Elements" on page 606 and "Using Form elements" on page 571). You could also add text, images and other elements (see "Content elements" on page 641) and change the layout of the page (see "Styling and formatting" on page 753). 2.
Tip The saved file can be used to create a data mapping configuration. The report Using different data in the report requires changing the COTG Timesheet Report template (see "Personalizing content" on page 798). 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.
probably means saving the input as sample data first (see "Saving input as sample data" on page 194). l How the submitted data must be handled depends entirely on what they are used for. You may have to write them to a database and use them in an email, for example. The cotg_ts_generate_report process demonstrates only a few of the things that you can do with the submitted data.
Note In order to use the project, OL Connect Server and OL Connect Workflow must be installed on the local machine. The wizard lets you select the folder in which you want the solution to be installed. In the selected folder, the Project Wizard will create two subfolders: Configurations and Workspace. The project's resource files are saved to the Configurations folder. The Workspace folder is used for debugging or running the solution.
Running the project Having tested the project, you will be ready to send it to the Workflow service; see Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration in Workflow's Online Help. To test the project, which then runs on the server, copy the Sample Data.xml file from the Configurations\Data folder to the Workspace\In folder. The output should appear in the same folder as before. Project details The letter template The promotional letter is designed in the PR_PROM Letter template.
l The sender's address is adjusted depending on where the customer lives. The two different sender's addresses are saved in snippets. (See: "Loading a snippet via a script" on page 884.) Styling is done via CSS. The context_all_styles.css file contains style rules for certain HTML elements (level 1 and 2 headings) and for elements with a certain class or ID. The data mapping The data with which the template is merged come from an XML file: Sample Data.xml.
Configurations\Resources\Output presets folder to select the preset. Note that the Output Type, on the Print Options page in the Output Creation dialog, is set to Prompt for file name. This setting is overruled in the Workflow configuration (see below). Workflow configuration Whenever new input data appears in the Workspace\In folder, the letter template is automatically merged with it and then printed.
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 "Project Wizard deployment settings" on page 862) before installing the project. Input data Here's how to adjust the project to input data that has a different structure or file type or comes from a different source. 1. Create a new data mapping configuration to match your input data.
l Change the "Master Pages" on page 518 l Add sections (see "Print context" on page 495) In order to further personalize the letter, you need to open your data mapping configuration. (See: "Personalizing content" on page 798.) 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.
Project Wizard: Print Transactional Jobs The Print Transactional Jobs Project Wizard creates an OL Connect project that produces transactional print output. It prints invoices to: o A single PDF for the entire job (in which the invoices are grouped per customer). o One PDF per customer. o One PDF per invoice. For an introduction to this Project Wizard, see Project Wizards overview video on the OL Learn website (start at 7:56) or on Youtube: Print Transactional Jobs.
1. Locate the Workflow configuration in the Configurations\Workflow folder and open it in OL Connect Workflow. 2. Select the pr_tran_generate_output process. 3. Open the Debug ribbon and click Run. The debugger always skips the first Input task. It needs a sample data file to work with. Normally you'd have to select a sample data file in Workflow. However, the project is preconfigured to use this file: Sample Data.xml (located in the project's Configurations\Data folder).
Scripts Scripts personalize content. Most of the scipts in the Information folder (on the Scripts pane) are made with the Text Script Wizard (see "Using the Text Script Wizard" on page 815). Tip Hover over the name of a script in the Scripts pane to highlight parts of the template that are affected by the script. Text that should be replaced by data is not only surrounded by @ (e.g. @date@) but also wrapped in a span (see "Span" on page 707).
The data mapping configuration The template is merged with data from an XML file: Sample Data.xml. They are extracted from the XML file with a data mapping configuration, made with the DataMapper (see "The DataMapper" on page 238). The data mapping configuration first extracts the common invoice fields, and then the transactional data, in a loop. For information about how to extract transactional data from an XML file, see: "From an XML file" on page 275.
The PR_TRAN PDF per Customer preset outputs one file per customer, separating the output by document set. The last output preset needs the invoices in the job to be grouped in document sets first (by customer number, in this case). That is what the Job Creation Preset does. This preset is used by the Create Job task in the Workflow configuration. Variable file names The Job Creation Preset does something else, too: it attaches extra information - meta data - to the documents and to the document sets.
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 "Project Wizard deployment settings" on page 862) before installing the project. Input data Here's how to adjust the project to input data that has a different structure or file type or comes from a different source. 1. Create a new data mapping configuration to match your input data.
l Change the "Master Pages" on page 518 l Add sections (see "Print context" on page 495) In order to further personalize the invoice, you need to open your data mapping configuration. (See: "Personalizing content" on page 798.) 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.
2. Change the Grouping Options by selecting the relevant fields on the Job, Job Segment, and/or Document Set tab. 3. Adjust the Separation Options in the Output Creation Preset accordingly. Tip The Execute Data Mapping task, Create Job and Create Output task may be replaced with the All In One task, with its Output Creation set to None. Using the All In One instead of the separate tasks makes the process a little faster.
The selected folder's path is saved to a global variable in the Workflow configuration (see "The Workflow configuration" on page 213). Testing and running the project Once the Project Wizard has finished the installation, the project is ready to be tested. 1. If the templates and data mapping configurations haven't been sent to Workflow yet, do that first (see "Sending files to Workflow" on page 470).
Tip The saved file can be used to create a data mapping configuration. Project details The web templates Both web pages are designed in the WEB_FORM Web Page template. It contains a Web context with two Web pages: form and thank_you (see "Web pages" on page 560). Styling is done via style sheets (see "Local formatting versus style sheets" on page 753). The style rules are in the context_web_styles.css file. Note that they use the HTML tag (e.g. section), ID (#theID) and/or the class (.
The Workflow configuration The project's Workflow configuration contains just one process: an OL Connect Web process (see "Web processes with OL Connect tasks" on page 227). Its NodeJS Server Input task has two HTTP Action entries: form and thank_you. This means the process will be triggered when the server receives a request that ends with either /form or /thank_you. The request is saved to an XML file, which becomes the job file. The Text Condition task checks if the request's header is thank_you.
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 "Project Wizard deployment settings" on page 862) before installing the project.
Web pages Apart from the form, there are lots of ways to modify the template. You could add text, images and other elements (see "Content elements" on page 641) and change the layout of the web pages (see "Styling and formatting" on page 753). Once the template is ready, send it to Workflow (see "Sending files to Workflow" on page 470). Finally, in Workflow, adjust the process: double-click the Create Web Content task to open it, and select the new template.
Project Wizard: Serving a Web Page The Serving a Web Page Project Wizard creates an OL Connect project that responds to a request by serving a web page. This project extracts data from a parameter in the given URL and shows the value on the web page. For an introduction to this Project Wizard, see Project Wizards overview video on the OL Learn website (start at 12:44) or on Youtube: Serving a Web Page.
To test the project: 1. Send the Workflow configuration to the OL Connect Workflow service; see Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration in Workflow's Online Help. 2. Access the web page by entering the following URL in a browser on the machine that runs Workflow: http://localhost:9090/hello. 3. Follow the instructions on the page to see how values in the URL change the text of the page. Saving input as sample data Testing a process in Debug mode is only possible with a sample data file.
Project details The web template The web page is designed in the WEB_HELLO Web Page template. It contains one Web section (see "Web pages" on page 560). Styling is done via style sheets (see "Local formatting versus style sheets" on page 753). The style rules are in the context_web_styles.css file. Note how they combine the HTML tag, ID and class of elements to select them. (See also: "Selectors in Connect" on page 891.) There are only two scripts in the template, as you can see on the Scripts pane.
The NodeJS Server Input task's HTTP action is set to hello. This means that this process will be invoked whenever someone tries to access the Workflow server with this URL: http:// {server's address}/hello. The Delete task is an Output task that does nothing, actually; it doesn't even remove anything. However, this step is useful when running the project step by step in Debug mode.
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 217). 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 240.) 3.
same in both. Once the template is ready, send it to Workflow (see "Sending files to Workflow" on page 470). Finally, in Workflow, adjust the process: double-click the Create Web Content task to open it, and select the new template. 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).
l l l l l l Input tasks look for certain input data on a certain channel and start a process when they find it. The data that enter the process are handed from one plugin to the next in the form of a file: the 'job file'. Process logic tasks help you to control the process, for example by branching it, creating a loop, or referring to another process or a subprocess. Action tasks perform a wide variety of operations.
l COTG processes. The process that creates a form for the Capture OnTheGo app is in essence a web process, but a COTG solution consists of more than one process. The typical COTG processes are described here: "Capture OnTheGo Workflow processes" on page 237. Tip Project Wizards The OL Connect software comes with a number of Project Wizards that generate a Workflow configuration, and any Connect templates, data mapping configurations, and Print Presets required to make the project work.
Email The Create Email Content task creates email content items and sends them to the recipient. See "Email processes with OL Connect tasks" on the next page. Web The Create Web Content task can handle only one record at a time and returns a web page. See "Web processes with OL Connect tasks" on page 227. Print The Create Print Content task generates a set of Print content items in the OL Connect database, but it is not an Output task.
l l The Set Properties task adds properties as tags to items/sets in the OL Connect database. The Retrieve Items task retrieves items (records, or content items, etc.) or sets of items from the OL Connect database, by ID or by property. Note Combined, the Set Properties and Retrieve Items tasks make it possible to batch and commingle Print content items.
the files that it needs, is to use a Project Wizard. See "Project wizard: Basic Email" on page 181. The structure of an OL Connect email process In an OL Connect Email process only one plugin is essential: the Create Email Content plugin. The Create Email Content task creates a set of emails, using the Email context in a Connect template, and sends them to the email server. You have to select the Connect template in the task's properties.
l l A template with an Email context. (See "Creating a template" on page 464.) If the email should contain variable data, you might need to make a data mapping configuration (see "Creating a new data mapping configuration" on page 240). If the input is going to be JSON data, you could add them to the design using a JSON file (see "Adding JSON data from a JSON file" on page 810).
receives a request for a resource called hello. (You could, for example, trigger the process by typing the following URL in the address bar of your browser: http://localhost:9090/hello, if the browser runs on the same machine as the Workflow server and the Input task is a NodeJS Server Input task. The protocol could be HTTPS, depending on the settings of the Input task.) To trigger the process from a Web Form, set the Action of the Form to the HTTP Action of the Input task. (See "Forms" on page 725.
is going to be JSON data, you could add them to the design using a JSON file (see "Adding JSON data from a JSON file" on page 810). Templates and data mapping configurations need to be sent from the Designer to PReS Workflow before they can be used in the Workflow process; see "Sending files to Workflow" on page 470. The next step is to create a process in PReS Workflow that generates Web output, using these files.
made with the DataMapper (see "Data mapping configurations" on page 239). The Retrieve Items task retrieves records from the OL Connect database. l l l The Create Print Content task. This task merges data with a template, resulting in Print Content Items. Templates are made with the Designer (see "Templates" on page 464). The Create Job task. This task turns a set of Print Content Items into a print job. Any settings are passed on to Workflow via a Job Creation Preset. The Create Output task.
l l l A data mapping configuration, or a data model at the very least, if the documents should contain variable data. (See "Creating a new data mapping configuration" on page 240.) A Job Creation Preset. (See "Job Creation Presets Wizard" on page 1175.) A Job Creation Preset defines where the output goes and makes it possible to filter and sort records, group documents, and add metadata. An Output Creation Preset. (See "Output Creation Presets Wizard" on page 1189.
Batching Batching refers to creating print jobs from print content items that were created earlier. A batching print process is split up in 2 phases: l l Phase 1: Content is created by merging a print template with data. Newly created print content items are always automatically saved in the Connect database1. Information about the set of items (the "content set"), including the Content Set ID, gets stored in the database as well.
l If you decide to retrieve content sets, you may still have to do preparatory work on the content item level to enable a Job Creation preset to sort the output (see "Sorting and grouping items in print batches" on the facing page). How to retrieve: selection methods The Retrieve Items task can retrieve items/sets by ID or based upon conditions. Retrieving items/sets by ID New print content items are automatically saved in the Connect database when the Create Content task creates them.
In order to retrieve (sets of) items by data values, you may have to adjust the data mapping configuration (see "Data mapping configurations" on page 239). Note that a property can only be used to retrieve entities on the level on which the property was explicitly set. For example, when you set a property on a content set, you can only use that property to retrieve the content set in its entirety (i.e.
l Properties are key/value pairs that can be set on entities in the Connect database. There are two ways to do that: l l Using the Set Properties task. Ideally, the Set Properties task directly follows the Create Print Content task in a Workflow process. The Create Print Content task returns the IDs of the content items as well as the ID of the content set to the process via the Metadata.
A Job Creation Preset can only work with content sets as input. So, if you want to use a Job Creation Preset, the Retrieve Items task must retrieve content sets from the Connect database, not content items. This also means that if you want to use properties in conditions to retrieve the correct items, those properties must be set on the content set level. However, any properties that you want to be used for filtering, grouping or sorting must be set on the content items.
Capture OnTheGo Workflow processes A Capture OnTheGo solution requires no less than three basic processes in a Workflow configuration: l l l One process that generates a document (most often, a form), stores it and notifies the COTG app of the document's existence. Note that this process doesn't send the actual document.
The DataMapper The DataMapper is the tool to create a data mapping configuration. Data mapping configurations are used to extract data and transpose that data into a format that can be shared amongst different layouts and outputs created with the OL Connect Designer and Workflow. The original data, located in a file or database outside of OL Connect, is called a data source.
3. Build the data mapping workflow. A data mapping workflow always starts with the Preprocessor step and ends with the Postprocessor step. You can add as many steps as you like and edit the Data Model of the extracted data as required. See "Data mapping workflow" on page 261 and "The Data Model" on page 299. What's next? Use the data mapping configuration in the Designer module to create templates for personalized customer communications. To learn more, see "The Designer" on page 462.
Note AFP input is dependent on a third party library (CDP), which only allows PReS Connect to run up to 4 AFP input processes on a given machine at a given time. Creating a new data mapping configuration A new data mapping configuration can be made with or without a wizard. When you open a data file with a DataMapper wizard, the wizard automatically detects a number of settings. You can adjust these settings.
3. Click the Browse button and open the file you want to work with (for a database, you may have to enter a password). 4. Click Finish. l From the File menu 1. Click the File menu and select New. 2. Click the Data mapping Configuration drop-down and select Files and then the file type: l Comma Separated Values or Excel (CSV/XLSX/XLS), l Microsoft Access l PDF, PS, PCL or AFP l Text l XML. 3. Click Next. 4. Click the Browse button and open the file you want to work with. 5. Click Finish.
PostScript code is usually optimized to print and not to keep text searchable, by maintaining character identities for example. The rule of thumb is: if copy-paste from Acrobat works, so will data mapping; if not, the DataMapper won't either. If the original is a PDF, it is recommended to find an alternative way to get it in the system instead of going through a print operation. l Rotated pages in a PDF are supported (if rotated 0/90/180/270 degrees).
The steps to take with the wizard depend on the file type. See: l "Using the wizard for CSV and Excel files" on page 245 l "Using the wizard for databases" on page 247 l "Using the wizard for PDF/VT or AFP files" on page 250 l "Using the wizard for XML files" on page 252 Generating a counter Instead of creating a data mapping configuration for a certain type of data file, you may create a data mapping configuration that only contains a series of sequential numbers.
l l l l l l Increment Value: The value by which to increment the counter for each record. For example, an increment value of 3 and starting value of 1 would give the counter values of 1, 4, 7, 10, [...] Number of records: The total number of counter records to generate. This is not the end value but rather the total number of actual records to generate. Padding character: Which character to add if the counter's value is smaller than the width. Width: The number of digits the counter will have.
Using the wizard for CSV and Excel files The DataMapper wizard for CSV and Excel files helps you create a data mapping configuration for such files. The wizard automatically detects delimiters and extracts all data in one extraction step. The wizard interprets each line in the file as a record. If your data file contains transactional data, you will probably want more lines to go in one record and put the transactional data in detail tables. The wizard cannot create detail tables.
Note Excel files saved in "Strict Open XML" format are not supported yet. After selecting the file, take a look at the preview to ensure that the file is the right one and the encoding correctly reads the data. Click Next. For an Excel file you can make the following settings: l l l First row contains field names: Uses the first row of the Excel sheet as headers, which automatically names all extracted fields. Sheet: Select the sheet from which the data should be extracted.
Tip The Sort on option, combined with the Stop data mapping option of the "Action step" on page 296, allows to process only a group of items without having to examine all records. (See also: "Text and PDF Files" on page 382.) Verify that the data are read properly. Finally click Finish. All data fields are automatically extracted in one extraction step. Using the wizard for databases The DataMapper wizard for database files helps you create a data mapping configuration for a database file.
4. Use the drop-down to select the database type. 5. Click Next. Wizard settings for a database file After opening a database file with a wizard there are a number of settings to make, depending on the database type (see below). On the last page of the dialog, click Finish to close the dialog and open the actual data mapping configuration. Note After creating the initial data mapping configuration you may use a custom SQL query via the Input Data Settings; see "Settings for a database" on page 265.
l Sort on: Select a field on which to sort the data, in ascending (A-Z) or descending (Z-A) order. Note that sorting is always textual. Even if the selected column has numbers, it will be sorted as a text. Microsoft Access l l l Password: Enter a password if one is required. Table name: The selected database is a set of related tables composed of rows and columns corresponding respectively to source records and fields. Select a table from which you want to extract data.
JDBC Note Since JDBC can connect to multiple types of databases, a specific database driver and path to this driver's JAR file must be specified. l l l l l l l l JDBC Driver: Use the drop-down to select which JDBC Driver to use for the database connection. JAR file path: Enter a path to the JAR file that contains the appropriate driver for the database. Server: Enter the server address for the database server.
Tip To extract information from the metadata in the extraction workflow itself, you have to create a JavaScript extraction (see "Using scripts in the DataMapper" on page 412 and "extractMeta()" on page 434). If the PDF doesn't contain any metadata, each page is a new record - in other words, a boundary is set at the start of a new page -, which is exactly what happens when you open the file without a wizard. You can open a PDF/VT or AFP file with a wizard using the Welcome screen or the File menu.
Click Finish to close the dialog and open the actual Data Mapping configuration. On the Settings pane, you will see that the boundary trigger is set to On metadata. The selected metadata fields are added to the Data Model. Note Extracting data from a PDF that comes from a Windows printer queue (a PDF converted to PostScript, converted back to PDF by an Input task in Workflow) might not work (see the Connect Knowledge Base.
3. From the Using a wizard pane, select XML. 4. Click the Browse button and open the XML file you want to work with. Click Next. l From the File menu 1. In the menu, click File > New. 2. Click the Data mapping Wizards drop-down and select From XML File. 3. Click Next. 4. Click the Browse button and open the XML file you want to work with. Click Next. After selecting the file, you have to set the split level and trigger type: l l XML Elements: This is a list of node elements that have children nodes.
This topic's intention is to provide you with a method to make LincPDF take these advanced settings into account, so the generated PDF can be correctly read in the DataMapper. Note The method described in this topic can only be done using PReS Workflow. Requirements To be able to import PCL input files, you will need the PCL Input license, in addition to PReS Connect. To check if you have a PCL Input license: 1. Open the Connect Software Activation module. 2.
1. Add a local variable to your process and name it lincPDFOptions. 2. Add another local variable named workingDir and give it a default Windows path (for example: C:\PCL2PDF\). 3. Add a plugin to capture the PCL File. You may use any input plugin that imports the PCL file into the process, such as Folder Capture, LPD Input, etc. 4. Using the Change Emulation plugin, change the Emulation to ASCII.

Next, use the External Program plugin to convert the PCL to PDF with the above % {lincPDFOptions} options. In the General tab: l l l l l Set the Executable file to: C:\Program Files\Objectif Lune\OL Connect\LPDFConv\Bin\LincPDFC.exe Set the Parameters to: -i"%F" -o"%{workingDir}\Temp\%O.
the Workflow log. 7. Save the output of LincPDFC using the –o folder specifier in the parameter (% {workingDir}\Temp, in this case.) In another Workflow process, import the created PDF with the Folder Capture input plugin, specifying the output folder of the previous process (%{workingDir}\Temp in the example) as input folder, and %O.pdf as the file mask.
Once you have the PDF as job file, you may pass it to the Execute Data Mapping plugin for further processing.

after the Data Mapping workflow has completed ("Postprocessor step" on page 297). When you create a new data mapping configuration, these steps are added automatically, but they don't actually do anything until you configure them. In between the Preprocessor and Postprocessor step, the workflow can contain as many steps as needed to extract the required data. Adding steps Extracting data is the main way to build a data mapping workflow; see "Extracting data" on page 267.

Keep in mind that steps may influence each other, so you may have to move other steps as well to ensure that the workflow continues to function properly.
pane at the left. l l l Input Data settings help the DataMapper read the data source and recognize data correctly. Boundaries mark the start of a new record. They let you organize the data, depending on how you want to use them. Data format settings define how dates, times and numbers are formatted by default in the data source. Input data settings (Delimiters) The Input Data settings (on the Settings pane at the left) specify how the input data must be interpreted.
Settings for a PDF File PDF files have a clear and unmovable delimiter: pages. So, the Input Data settings are not used to set delimiters. Instead, these options determine how words, lines and paragraphs are detected when you select content in the PDF to extract data from it. For an explanation of all the options, see: "PDF file Input Data settings" on page 355. Settings for a database Databases all return the same type of information.
See also: "XML File Input Data settings" on page 358. Note The DataMapper only extracts elements for which at least one value is defined in the file. Record boundaries Boundaries are the division between records: they define where one record ends and the next record begins. Using boundaries, you can organize the data the way you want. You could use the exact same data source with different boundaries in order to extract different information.
By default, the user preferences are set to the system preferences. These user preferences become the default format values for any newly created data mapping configuration. To change these preferences, select Window > Preferences > DataMapper > DataMapper default format (see "DataMapper preferences" on page 844). Data format settings defined for a data source apply to any new extraction made in the current data mapping configuration.
Preprocessor step The Preprocessor step allows the application to perform actions on the data file itself before it is handed over to the Data Mapping workflow. In addition, properties can be defined in this step. These properties may be used throughout the extraction workflow. For more information, see "Preprocessor step" on page 287. Adding an extraction In an extraction workflow, Extract steps are the pieces that take care of the actual data extractions. To add an Extract step: 1.
field name stays the same. Drop data on empty fields or on the record itself to add new fields. Special conditions The Extract step may need to be combined with another type of step to get the desired result. l l l Data can be extracted conditionally with a Condition step or Multiple Conditions step; see "Condition step" on page 292 or "Multiple Conditions step" on page 295. Normally the same extraction workflow is automatically applied to all records in the source data.
1. Select the field in the Data Model that contains the extracted lines. 2. On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, click the drop-down next to Split and select Split lines. Adding fields to an existing Extract step For optimization purposes, it is better to add fields to an existing Extract step than to have a succession of extraction steps. To add fields to an existing Extract step: 1. In the Data Viewer pane, select the data that needs to be extracted. (See "Selecting data" on the next page.
occurred and all data fields related to subsequent steps will be greyed out. Click the Messages tab (next to the Step properties pane) to see any error messages. To test the extraction workflow on all records that are displayed, you can either: l Click the Validate All Records toolbar button. l Select Data > Validate Records in the menu. If any errors are encountered in one or more records, an error message will be displayed.
To resize a data selection, click and hold one of the resize handles on the borders or corners, move them to the new size and release the mouse button. To move the data selection, click and hold anywhere on the data selection, move it to its new desired location and release the mouse button. Note In a Text or PDF file, when you move the selection rectangle directly after extracting data, you can use it to select data for the next extraction.
an XML document. Extracting transactional data Promotional data are data about customers, such as addresses, names and phone numbers. In Connect, each record in the extracted record set represents one recipient. The number of fields that contain promotional data is the same in each record. These data are stored on the root level of the extracted record.
For more information about detail tables, multiple detail tables and nested detail tables, see "Example " on page 348. From a CSV file or a Database The transactional data (also called line items) appear in multiple rows. 1. Select a field in the column that contains the first line item information. 2. Right-click this data selection and select Add Repeat. This adds a Repeat step with a GoTo step inside it.
The extraction step is placed inside the Repeat step, just before the GoTo step. From an XML file The transactional data appears in repeated elements.
1. Right-click one of the repeating elements and select Add Repeat. This adds a Repeat step to the data mapping configuration. By default, the Repeat type of this step is set to For Each, so that each of the repeated elements is iterated over. You can see this on the Step properties pane, as long as the Repeat step is selected on the Steps pane. In the Collection field, you will find the corresponding node path.
2. (Optional.) Add an empty detail table via the Data Model pane: right-click the Data Model and select Add a table. Give the detail table a name. 3. Select the Repeat step on the Steps pane. 4. Extract the data: inside a repeating element, select the data that you want to extract. Then right-click the selected nodes and select Add Extraction, or drag & drop them in the Data Model. When you drag & drop data on the name of a detail table in the Data Model pane, the data are added to that detail table.
1. Select an element in the first line item. 2. Right-click on the selection and select Add Goto. The Goto step will move the cursor to the start of the first line item. 2. Add a Repeat step where the loop must stop. 1. In the line under the last line item, look for a text that can be used as a condition to stop the loop, for example "Subtotals", Total" or "Amount". 2. Select that text, right-click on it and select Add Repeat. The Repeat step loops over all lines until the selected text is found. 3.
1. Select the start of the Repeat step on the Steps pane. 2. Look for something in the data that distinguishes lines with a line item from other lines (or the other way around). Often, a "." or "," appears in prices or totals at the same place in every line item, but not on other lines. 3. Select that data, right-click on it and select Add Conditional. Selecting data - especially something as small as a dot - can be difficult in a PDF file.
4. (Optional.) Add an empty detail table to the Data Model: right-click the Data Model and select Add a table. Give the detail table a name.
5. Extract the data (see "Adding an extraction" on page 268). When you drag & drop data on the name of a detail table in the Data Model pane, the data are added to that detail table. Dropping the data somewhere else on the Data Model pane, or using the contextual menu in the Data Viewer, creates a new detail table, with a default name that you can change later on (see "Renaming a detail table" on page 344).
Note In a PDF or Text file, pieces of data often have a variable size: a product description, for example, may be short and fit on one line, or be long and cover two lines. To learn how to handle this, see "Extracting data of variable length" on the next page. 6. Extract the sum or totals. If the record contains sums or totals at the end of the line items list, the end of the Repeat step is a good place to add an Extract step for these data.
Extracting data of variable length In PDF and Text files, transactional data isn't structured uniformly, as in a CSV, database or XML file. Data can be located anywhere on a page. Therefore, data are extracted from a certain region on the page. However, the data can be spread over multiple lines and multiple pages: l l Line items may continue on the next page, separated from the line items on the first page by a page break, a number of empty lines and a letterhead.
Using a Condition step or Multiple Conditions step Using a Condition step ("Condition step" on page 292) or a Multiple Conditions step ("Multiple Conditions step" on page 295) one could determine how big the region is that contains the data that needs to be extracted. In each of the branches under the Condition or Multiple Conditions step, an Extract step could be added to extract the data from a particular region. The Extract steps could write their data to the same field.
Page 285
Using a script A script could also provide a solution when data needs to be extracted from a variable region. This requires using a Javascript-based field. 1. Add a field to an Extract step, preferably by extracting data from one of the possible regions; see "Extracting data" on page 267. To add a field without extracting data, see "JavaScript-based field" on page 305. 2. On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, select the field and change its Mode to Javascript.
Note that this script replicates exactly what can be done in a Condition step. In cases like this, it is recommended to use a Condition step. Only use a script when no steps are sufficient to give the expected result, or when the extraction can be better optimized in a script. Steps In the DataMapper, steps are part of an extraction workflow (see "Data mapping workflow" on page 261). They contain a specific instruction for the DataMapper, for example to extract data, create a loop, or apply a condition.
could be created to be added to each record in the output for integrity checks later on, or a time stamp could be added to create reports. A tag could be added to process certain records differently. A preprocessor could remove certain records altogether. One example of how a preprocessor could be used is given in a How-to: Using Preprocessors in DataMapper. Properties To add a property: 1. Select the Preprocessor step on the Steps pane. 2.
Configuring the Preprocessor step For an explanation of the settings for preprocessors, see: "Preprocessor step properties" on page 370. Extract step The Extract step is essential in each and every data mapping configuration. It extracts data from the data source, based on their location (a row and column in CSV or tabular data, an XPath in XML, or a region of the page in PDF and Text) or on JavaScript code. The data is stored in the record set that is the result of the extraction workflow.
Adding an Extract step To add an Extract step, first select the step on the Steps pane after which to insert the Extract step. Then: l l In the Data Viewer, select some data, right-click that data and choose Add Extraction, or drag & drop the data in the Data Model. For more detailed information and instructions, see: "Extracting data" on page 267. Alternatively, right-click the Steps pane and select Add a Step > Add Extraction. Make the required settings on the Step properties pane.
avoid an infinite loop, except with XML data. When you select a node in an XML file and add a Repeat step on it, the Repeat step will automatically loop over all nodes of the same type on the same level in the XML file. Adding a Repeat step To add a Repeat step: 1. On the Steps pane, select the step after which to insert the Condition step. 2. Make sure that the cursor is located where the extraction loop must start.
Note The Goto step isn't used in XML extraction workflows in most cases. The DataMapper moves through the file using Xpath, a path-like syntax to identify and navigate nodes in an XML document. Adding a Goto step To add a Goto step: l l On the Steps pane, select the step after which to insert the Goto step. In the Data Viewer, select some data, right-click that data and choose Add Goto, to add a Goto step that moves the cursor to that data.
Adding a Condition step To add a Condition step: l On the Steps pane, select the step after which to insert the Condition step; then, in the Data Viewer, select some data, right-click that data and choose Add Conditional. In the Step properties pane, you will see that the newly added Condition step checks if the selected position (the left operand) contains the selected value (the right operand). Both operands and the operator can be adjusted.
(in the Step properties pane).Make a selection in the Data Viewer and click the Use selected text button in the Right Operand section. You will now be able to see whether or not the proper text is extracted by the current selection. Repeat this until you are satisfied that the proper data is being extracted.Click on the Use selection button in the Left Operand section to fill out the coordinates.The point of origin of each character is at the bottom left of each of them and extends up and to the right.
Rules are by default combined with AND. To change the way rules are combined, right-click "AND" in the Rule Tree, on the Step properties pane, and select OR or XOR instead. (XOR means one or the other, but not both.) Renaming a rule To rename a rule, double-click its name in the Rule Tree and type a new name. Multiple Conditions step The Multiple Conditions step is useful to avoid the use of nested Condition steps: Condition steps inside other Condition steps.
Adding a Multiple Conditions step To add a Multiple Conditions step, right-click the Steps pane and select Add a Step > Add Multiple Conditions. To add a case, click the Add case button to the right of the Condition field in the Step properties pane. Configuring a Multiple Conditions step For information about how to configure the Multiple Conditions step, see "Left operand, Right operand" on page 398. The settings for a Case are the same as for a Condition step; see "Condition step properties" on page 394.
l l l l Execute JavaScript code. Set the value for a record property. Record properties are defined in the Preprocessor step; see "Preprocessor step" on page 287. Stop the processing of the current record and move on to the next one. Normally an extraction workflow is automatically executed on all records in the source data. By stopping the processing of the current record, you can filter out some records or skip records partially.
l Select the Postprocessor step on the Steps pane. l On the Step properties pane, under Postprocessor, click the Add button l . Under Postprocessor definition, add the script. Postprocessor tasks must be written in JavaScript (see "Using scripts in the DataMapper" on page 412 and "DataMapper Scripts API" on page 409). Configuring the Postprocessor step For an explanation of the settings for post-processors, see "JavaScript" on page 405.
In order to test post-processors you must execute them manually by clicking the Apply button in the Post-processor step properties (see "JavaScript" on page 405). Note that in the DataMapper and Designer, only one data record is active at any given time. Therefore, the changes made by the post-processes are only visible on the current data record (i.e. the one currently displayed). If you change data records, you must press the Apply button on the Postprocessor step once more.
About records A record is a block of information that may be merged with a template to generate a single document (invoice, email, web page...) for a single recipient. It is part of the record set that is generated by a data mapping configuration. In each record, data from the data source can be combined with data coming from other sources. Records can be duplicated by setting the number of copies in a script (see "record" on page 440). Duplicates are not shown in the Data Model.
Note l l Imported Data Model fields always overwrite existing field properties when the field name is the same (although they will still be part of the same Extract step). Nonexistent fields are created automatically with the appropriate field settings. The import is case-insensitive. All imported data model fields are marked as required in the Data Model (indicated with an asterisk (*) next to their names).
To change the order in which data are extracted, see "Renaming and reordering fields in an extraction step" on page 307. Moving fields To move a field, a group of fields or a detail table, you can simply drag and drop it to some other place in the Data Model. Alternatively, you can right-click the field, group or detail table and select one of the options in the Move menu, to move it up or down within the list or group. Fields cannot be moved into another table.
In Workflow, when a data mapping configuration is used to extract data from a data source (see "Data mapping configurations" on page 239), the extracted data is stored in a record set in the OL Connect database. Adding fields and data via Workflow The Data Model is not extensible outside of the DataMapper. When it is used in Workflow - as part of a data mapping configuration - the contents of its fields can be updated but not its structure.
l Select Metadata as the data source in the Create Preview PDF plugin. Note Many of these actions can also be performed using REST calls. Please refer to PReS Connect Workflow documentation for more information about the plugins involved. Fields Extracted data are stored in fields in the Data Model (see "The Data Model" on page 299). Fields can be present on different levels: on the record level or in a detail table (see "Example " on page 348).
JavaScript-based field JavaScript-based fields are filled by a script: the script provides a value. Note that the last value attribution to a variable is the one used as the result of the expression. There is a number of ways to add a Javascript based field. Via the Steps pane 1. Make sure there is no data selection in the Data Viewer. 2. Right-click on an Extract step on the Steps pane and select Add a Step > Add Extract Field. (To add a new Extract step, select Add a Step > Add Extraction first.) 3.
Property-based field A property-based field is filled with the value of a property. Objects such as the sourceRecord and steps have a number of predefined properties. (For an explanation of the objects to which the properties belong, see "DataMapper Scripts API" on page 409.) Custom properties can be added via the Preprocessor step; see "Preprocessor step" on page 287. A property-based field cannot be added directly.
Renaming and reordering fields in an extraction step The names of fields, as well as the order of fields in an extraction step, can be changed via the properties of the Extract step that they belong to. 1. Select the Extract step that contains the fields that you want to rename. To do this you could click on one of those fields in the Data Model, or on the step in the Steps pane. 2. On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, click the Order and rename fields button. 3.
Setting the data type Fields store extracted data as a String by default. The data type of a field can be changed via the properties of the Extract step that the field belongs to. 1. Select the Extract step that contains the field. You can do this by clicking on the field in the Data Model, or on the step in the Steps pane that contains the field. 2. On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, set the Type to the desired data type. See "Data types" on page 317 for a list of available types.
Post function On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, you can enter a script in the Post function field to be run after the extraction. (Click the Use JavaScript Editor button to open the Script Editor dialog if you need more space.) A Post function script operates directly on the extracted data. Its results replace the extracted data. For example, the Post function script replace("-", ""); replaces the first dash character that occurs inside the extracted string.
2. In the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, click the Remove Extract Field button next to the Field List drop-down. Detail tables A detail table is a field in the Data Model that contains a record set instead of a single value. Detail tables contain transactional data. They are created when an Extract step is added within a Repeat step; see "Extracting transactional data" on page 273. In the most basic of transactional communications, a single detail table is sufficient.
Creating multiple detail tables Multiple detail tables are useful when more than one type of transactional data is present in the source data, for example purchases (items with a set price, quantity, item number) and services (with a price, frequency, contract end date, etc). To create more than one detail table, simply extract transactional data in different Repeat steps (see "Extracting transactional data" on page 273).
Page 312
Nested detail tables Nested detail tables are used to extract transactional data that are relative to other data. They are created just like multiple detail tables, with two differences: l l For the tables to be actually nested, the Repeat step and its Extract step that extract the nested transactional data must be located within the Repeat step that extracts data to a detail table. In their name, the dot notation (record.services) must contain one extra level (record.services.charges).
a number of "details" such as movie rentals or long distance calls.
The services can be extracted to a detail table called record.services. The "charges" and "details" can be extracted to two nested detail tables.
The nested tables can be called record.services.charges and record.services.details.
Now one "charges" table and one "details" table are created for each row in the "services" table. Data types By default the data type of extracted data is a String, but each field in the Data Model can be set to contain another data type. To do this: 1. In the Data Model, select a field. 2. On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition choose a data type from the Type drop-down. Changing the type does not only set the data type inside the record.
l "HTMLString" on page 324 l "Integer" on page 324 l "Float" on page 323 l "Currency" on the next page l "Date" on page 320 l "Object" on page 325 Note The Object data type is only available in the DataMapper module. It can be used for properties in the Preprocessor step, but not for fields in the Data Model. Boolean Booleans are a simple true/false data type often used in conditions and comparisons.
l JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to either true or false . Example: record.fields["isCanadian"] = true; Note The value must be all in lowercase: true , false . Any variation in case (True, TRUE) will not work. Boolean expressions Boolean values can be set using an expression of which the result is true or false. This is done using operators and comparisons. Example: record.
l Extraction: l In the Data Model, select a field. l On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition set the Type to Currency. Under Data Format, specify how the value is formatted in the data source (see Extract Step; for the default format settings, see "Data source settings" on page 263). The field value will be extracted and treated as a Float. l l JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to any Float value. Example: record.fields["PreciseTaxSubtotal"] = 27.
Extracting dates To extract data and have that data interpreted as a Date, set the type of the respective field to Date: 1. Select the field in the data model. 2. On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, specify the Type as Date. 3. Make sure that the date in the data source is formatted in a way that matches the expectations of the DataMapper. If the date doesn't match the format that the DataMapper expects, it cannot be interpreted as a date.
l l l mm: Numeric representation of the month (i.e. 1, 09, 12) D: Short version of the weekday name ( i.e. Mon, Wed). These values are based on the current regional settings. DD: Long version of the weekday name (i.e. Monday, Wednesday). These values are based on the current regional settings. l dd: Numeric representation of the day of the month (i.e.
Value in raw data Mask to use Tuesday, June 25, 2013 @ 7h31PM DD, MM dd, yyyy @ hh\hnnap Entering a date using JavaScript In several places in the DataMapper, Date values can be set through a JavaScript. For example: l l In a field in the Data Model. To do this, go to the Steps pane and select an Extract step. Then, on the Step properties pane, under Field Definition click the Add JavaScript Field button (next to the Field List drop-down). Type the JavaScript in the Expression field.
Defining Float values l Preprocessor: l l l In the Step properties pane, under Properties, add or select a field. Specify the Type as Float and set a default value as a number with decimal points, followed by a semicolon; for example 546513.879;. Extraction: l In the Data Model, select a field. On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition set the Type to Float. The field value will be extracted and treated as a Float. l l JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to any Float value.
Defining Integer values l l Preprocessor: l In the Step properties pane, under Properties, add or select a field. l Specify the Type as Integer and set a default value as a number, such as 42. Extraction: l In the Data Model, select a field. On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition set the Type to Integer. The field value will be extracted and treated as an integer. l l JavaScript Expression: Set the desired value to any Integer value. Example: record.
Defining Object values l Preprocessor: l In the Step properties pane, under Properties, add or select a field. l Specify the Type as Object and set a default value as a semi-colon. String Strings contain textual data. Strings do not have any specific meaning, which is to say that their contents are never interpreted in any way. Defining String values l Preprocessor: l l l In the Step properties pane, under Properties, add or select a field.
l l It is possible to put more than one string, as well as variables containing strings, by concatenating them with the + operator. For example, "Hello " + sourceRecord.property.FirstName + ", nice to meet you!". Adding more data to an existing string variable or field is possible using a combination of concatenation and assignment.

3. Click somewhere else on the Step Properties pane to update the Data Model. You will see the new name appear. Creating multiple detail tables Multiple detail tables are useful when more than one type of transactional data is present in the source data, for example purchases (items with a set price, quantity, item number) and services (with a price, frequency, contract end date, etc).
and you will have to rename the detail table created in each Extract step to pull the detail tables apart (see "Renaming a detail table" on page 344).
Nested detail tables Nested detail tables are used to extract transactional data that are relative to other data. They are created just like multiple detail tables, with two differences: l l For the tables to be actually nested, the Repeat step and its Extract step that extract the nested transactional data must be located within the Repeat step that extracts data to a detail table. In their name, the dot notation (record.services) must contain one extra level (record.services.charges).
Example An XML source file lists the services of a multi-service provider: Internet, Cable, Home Phone, Mobile. Each service in turn lists a number of "charges", being service prices and rebates, and a number of "details" such as movie rentals or long distance calls.
The services can be extracted to a detail table called record.services. The "charges" and "details" can be extracted to two nested detail tables.
The nested tables can be called record.services.charges and record.services.details.
Now one "charges" table and one "details" table are created for each row in the "services" table. The Data Viewer The Data Viewer is located in the middle on the upper half of the DataMapper screen. It displays the data source that is currently loaded in the DataMapper, specifically one record in that data. Where one record ends and the next starts is determined in the Data Source settings (see "Record boundaries" on page 266).
l l l Hide/Show datamap : Click to show or hide the icons to the left of the Data Viewer which displays how the steps affect the line. Hide/Show extracted data : Click to show or hide the extraction selections indicating that data is extracted. This simplifies making data selections in the same areas and is useful to display the original data. Lock/Unlock extracted data : Click to lock existing extraction selections so they cannot be moved or resized.
Messages pane The Messages pane is shared between the DataMapper and Designer modules and displays any warnings and errors from the data mapping configuration or template. At the top of the Message pane are control buttons: l Export Log: Click to open a Save As dialog where the log file (.log) can be saved on disk. l Clear Log Viewer: Click to remove all entries in the log viewer. l Filters: Displays the Log filter (see "Log filter" below).
Settings pane Settings for the data source and a list of Data Samples and JavaScript files used in the current data mapping configuration, can be found on the Settings tab at the left. The available options depend on the type of data sample that is loaded. The Input Data settings (especially Delimiters) and Boundaries are essential to obtain the data and eventually, the output that you need. For more explanation, see "Data source settings" on page 263.
l l Ignore unparseable lines: Ignores any line that does not correspond to the settings above. Skip empty lines: Ignore any line that has no content. Note that spaces are considered content. l Sort on: Select a field on which to sort the data, in ascending (A-Z) or descending (Z-A) order. Note that sorting is always textual. Even if the selected column has numbers, it will be sorted as a text.
average character in the font. l l l l Line spacing: Determines the spacing between lines of text. The default value is 1, meaning the space between lines must be equal to at least the average character height. Paragraph spacing: Determines the spacing between paragraphs. The default value is 1.5, meaning the space between paragraphs must be equal to at least 1.5 times the average character height to start a new paragraph. Magic number: Determines the tolerance factor for all of the above values.
l l l Encoding: Defines what encoding is used to read the Data Source ( US-ASCII, ISO8859-1, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE ). Sort on: Allows to select a field on which to sort the data, in ascending (A-Z) or descending (Z-A) order. Note that sorting is always textual. Even if the sorting column has numbers, it will be sorted as a text. With a Custom Query, this option is not available. Skip empty lines: Ignore any row that has no content, e.g. only nulls or empty strings.
l On text: Triggers a new page in the Data Sample when a specific string is found in a certain location. l Word to find: Compares the text value with the value in the data source. l Match case: Activates a case sensitive text comparison. l l l Location: Choose Selected area or Entire width to use the value of the current data selection as the text value. Left/Right: Use the spin buttons to set the start and stop columns to the current data selection (Selected area) in the record.
l Any other curly brackets that are not part of the JavaScript code must be escaped with a backslash. Single line comments (//...) in the code are not supported. Note that since the XPath is a string, the return value of the JavaScript statement will be interpreted as a string. l Note Currently, XPaths that select elements based on an attribute, attribute value, node value, node counter or node index are not supported.
l Trigger: Defines the type of rule that controls when a boundary is set, creating a new record. l Record(s) per page: Defines a fixed number of lines in the file that go in each record. l l On change: Defines a new record when a specific field (Field name) has a new value. l l l Records: The number of records (lines, rows) to put in each record. Field name: Displays the fields in the top line. The boundaries are set on the selected field name.
l On text: Defines a boundary on a specific text comparison. l l l l l Start coordinates (x,y): Defines the left and top coordinates of the data selection to compare with the text value. Stop coordinates (x,y): Defines the right and bottom coordinates. Use Selection: Select an area in the Data Viewer and click the Use selection button to set the start and stop coordinates to the current data selection. Note: In a PDF file, all coordinates are in millimeters.
l On delimiter: Defines a boundary on a static number of pages. l l Occurrences: The number of times that the delimiter is encountered before fixing the boundary. For example, if you know that your documents always have four pages delimited by the FF character, you can set the boundaries after every four delimiters. On text: Defines a boundary on a specific text comparison.
l l l Use selected text button: copies the text in the current selection as the one to compare to it. Match case: Makes the text comparison case sensitive. On script: Defines the boundaries using a custom JavaScript. For more information see "Setting boundaries using JavaScript" on page 414. XML file boundaries The delimiter for an XML file is a node. The Boundaries determine how many of those nodes go in one record.
A number of buttons let you manage the Data Samples. In addition to using the buttons listed below, you can right-click a file to bring up the context menu, which offers the same options plus the Copy and Paste options. Tip Data samples can be copied and pasted to and from the Settings pane using Windows File Explorer. l l l l l Add : Add a new Data Sample from an external data source. The new Data Sample will need to be of the same data type as the current one.
l l Current Locale Settings: Shows dates and times as formatted by Windows using the current Locale of the system on which Connect runs. All values are shown as a date including a time. ISO 8601 (UTC): Uses the ISO 8601 (UTC) format to display dates and times. All values are shown as a date including a time, taking the time zone into account. Note that when no time was specified with a date in the original file, the default time (12.00 AM) is used and converted; this may influence the displayed date.
l Negative Sign Before : A negative sign will be displayed before any negative value. l Decimal Separator : Set the decimal separator for a numerical value. l Thousand Separator : Set the thousand separator for a numerical value. l Currency Sign : Set the currency sign for a currency value. l Date Format : Set the date format for a date value. l l Date Language : Set the date language for a date value (ex: If English is selected, the term May will be identified as the month of May).
Using variables and properties in an SQL query When you use variables and properties in an SQL query, the selection will be dynamically adjusted each time the data mapping configuration is actually used in a Workflow process. To create a dynamic SQL query: l l The query must start with = Any variable or property must be enclosed in curly brackets: { ... }. This effectively inserts a JavaScript statement in the query. Note that all other curly brackets must be escaped with a backslash.
Example = SELECT {automation.variables.FieldList} FROM {automation.jobInfo.JobInfo9} If the Workflow variable defined as FieldList contains the value "id,name" and Job Info 9 contains the value "MyTable", then this custom query, once parsed, yields the following SQL statement: SELECT id,name FROM MyTable which is then executed. Steps pane The Steps tab displays the data mapping workflow: the process that prepares and extracts data.
You can also click on the Preprocessor step to select all the steps in the workflow to show a complete map of all the extracted data. Window controls The following controls appear at the top of the Steps pane: l Zoom In (CTRL +) l Zoom Out (CTRL -) : Click to zoom in by increments of 10% : Click to zoom out by increments of 10% Contextual menu You can access the contextual menu using a right-click anywhere inside the Steps pane. l Add a Step: Adds a step to the process.
Step properties pane The Step Properties pane is used to adjust the properties of each Step in the process (see "Steps" on page 287). The pane is divided in a few subsections depending on the Step and the data type. It always contains a subsection to name and document the selected Step. Other subsections allow you to edit or delete fields that belong to the Step (see "Fields" on page 304) or change the expected data format (see "Data Format" on page 379), for example.
Name: The name of the step. This name will be displayed on top of the step's icon in the Steps pane. Comments: The text entered here will be displayed in the tooltip that appears when hovering over the step in the Steps pane. Fixed Automation Properties The Fixed automation properties subsection lists all the fixed properties available from PReS Workflow. These properties are equivalent to data available within the PReS Workflow process.
In scripts, fixed automation properties are retrieved via the automation object (see "Objects" on page 419), for example automation.jobInfo.JobInfo9 or automation.properties.OriginalFilename. Note Other variables used in a Workflow configuration are made available to the data mapping configuration via the Properties subsection of the Preprocessor step (see below). Properties The Properties subsection is used to create specific properties that are used throughout the workflow.

Name Description Available in scripts of type "db" on page 439 An object that allows to connect to a database. Boundaries, all steps except Goto "logger" on page 440 An object that allows to log error, warning or informational messages. Boundaries, all steps except Goto "record" on page 440 The current record in the main data set. Extract, Condition, Repeat and Multiple Conditions steps "region" on page 441 An object that defines a subsection of the input data.
Name Description copyFile() Copies a file to the target file path, replacing it if it already exists. "createGUID()" on page 451 Returns a unique 36-character string consisting of 32 alphanumeric, lower case characters and four hyphens (format: 84-4-4-12). Example: 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000. "createHTTPRequest ()" on page 451 Creates a new HTTP Request Object. createTmpFile() Creates a file with a unique name in the temporary work folder and returns a file object.
Name Description openTextReader() Opens a file as a text file for reading purposes. openTextWriter() Opens a file as a text file for writing purposes. Using scripts in the DataMapper In the DataMapper every part of the extraction process can be customized using scripts. A script can be used to set boundaries for a data source (see "Setting boundaries using JavaScript" on page 414). The script determines where a new record starts. Scripts can also be used in different steps in the extraction workflow.
Tip In the Edit script dialog, press Ctrl + Space to bring up the list of available JavaScript objects and functions (see Datamapper API). Use the arrow keys to select a function or object and press enter to insert it. Type a dot after the name of the function or object to see which features are subsequently available. Keyboard shortcuts for the script editor are listed in the following topic: "Keyboard shortcuts" on page 1021.
}; If this is saved as myFunction.js and imported, then the following would work anywhere in the configuration: var result = myAddFunction(25, 12); // returns 37! Setting boundaries using JavaScript As soon as you select the On Script option as the trigger for establishing record boundaries (see "Record boundaries" on page 266), you are instructing the DataMapper to read the source file sequentially and to trigger an event each and every time it hits a delimiter.
access to the first page only, and for a CSV or for tabular data, that would be the first row or record. This means that you can: l Examine the data found in between delimiters for specific conditions. l Examine specific regions of that data, or the available data as a whole. l Compare the contents of one region with another. l Etc. To access this data in the script, use the get() function of the boundaries object.
"Rolling Stones","Let it bleed",1969 "Led Zeppelin","Led Zeppelin 3",1970 "Led Zeppelin","Led Zeppelin 4",1971 "Rolling Stones","Sticky Fingers",1971 Note The first line is just the header with the names of the CSV columns. The data is already sorted per year, per artist, and per album. Your goal is to examine two values in each CSV record and to act when either changes. The DataMapper GUI allows you to specify a On Change trigger, but you can only specify a single field.
boundaries.setVariable("lastBand",zeBand[0]); boundaries.setVariable("lastYear",zeYear[0]); l l l l The script first reads the two values from the input data, using the createRegion() method (see: "Example" on page 443). For a CSV/database data type, the parameter it expects is simply the column name. The region is passed as a parameter to the get() method, which reads its contents and converts it into an array of strings (because any region, even a CSV field, may contain several lines).
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin Rolling Stones Led Zeppelin 3 Led Zeppelin 4 Sticky Fingers 1970 1971 1971 The purpose of the script, again, is to set the record boundary when EITHER the year OR the artist changes. The script would look like this: /* Read the values of both columns we want to check */ var zeBand = boundaries.get(region.createRegion(1,1,30,1)); var zeYear = boundaries.get(region.
Note The PDF context also expects physical coordinates, just like the Text context does, but since PDF pages do not have a grid concept of lines and columns, the above parameters would instead be specified in millimeters relative to the upper left corner of each page. So for instance, to create a region for the Year, the code might look like this: region.createRegion(190,20,210,25) which would create a region located near the upper right corner of the page.
Property Description PReS Workflow (see Job Info variables in the Workflow Online Help). properties Returns a ScriptableAutomation object containing additional information (file name, process name and task ID) from PReS Workflow. variables Returns a ScriptableAutomation object containing the list of local and global variables defined by the user in PReS Workflow. Note that there is no way to distinguish local variables from global ones (local variables take precedence over global variables).
To access ProcessName, OriginalFilename or TaskIndex from Workflow: automation.properties.OriginalFilename; To access Workflow variables (declared in the "Preprocessor step" on page 287 properties): automation.variables.Same_as_workflow; boundaries Returns a boundaries object encapsulating properties and methods allowing to define the boundaries of each document in the job. This object is available when triggering document boundaries On script.
Method Description Script type get() Retrieves an array of strings. Boundaries getVariable () Retrieves a value of a variable stored in the boundaries object. Boundaries set() Sets a new record boundary. (See: "Record boundaries" on page 266.) Boundaries setVariable () Sets a boundaries variable to the specified value, automatically creating the variable if it doesn't exist yet. Boundaries find() Method of the boundaries object that finds a string in a region of the data source file.
in_Region The in_Region region can be created prior to the call to find() with the region.createRegion() method. It depends on the type of data source how a region is defined; see "Example" on page 443. When used to search through a Text file, the find() method returns a different region object (see "region" on page 441) whose range property is adjusted to point to the exact physical location where the match was found. This will always be a subset of the in_Region.range property.
boundaries.get(region.createRegion("Email_Address")); getVariable() Method that retrieves the value currently stored in a variable. Note Boundary variables are carried over from one iteration of the Boundaries script to the next, while native JavaScript variables are not. getVariable(varName) varName String name of the variable from which the value is to be retrieved. If the variable does not exist, the value null is returned.
skip some pages/records when you know they do not need to be examined. Negative (or 0) values simply set the boundary without changing the current location. Example This script sets a boundary when the text TOTAL is found on the current page in a PDF file. The number of delimiters is set to 1, so the boundary is set on the next delimiter, which is the start of the next page. if (boundaries.find("TOTAL", region.createRegion (10,10,215,279)).found) { boundaries.
setVariable() This method sets a variable in the boundaries to the specified value, automatically creating the variable if it doesn't exist yet. Note Boundary variables are carried over from one iteration of the Boundaries script to the next, while native JavaScript variables are not. setVariable(varName, varValue) Sets variable varName to value varValue. varName String name of the variable of which the value is to be set. varValue Object; value to which the variable has to be set.
Property Description Return type filename The path of the input file. Returns the fully qualified file name of the temporary work file being processed. properties Contains properties declared in the preprocessor step (see Preprocessor Step Properties for details). Returns an array of properties defined in the Preprocessor step with the data scope (i.e. statically set at the start of the job). Methods The following table lists the methods of the data object.
Method Description Script type File type on page 439 expression pattern starting from the current position. Multiple Conditions and Action steps PDF extract() Extracts the text value from selected data: a node path, column, or rectangular region, depending on the type of data source. This method always returns a String. extract(left, right, verticalOffset, regionHeight, separator) Extracts a value from a position in a text file.
Tip l l "
" is a very handy string to use as a separator. When the extracted data is inserted in a Designer template, "
" will be interpreted as a line break, because
is a line break in HTML and Designer templates are actually HTML files. Setting the regionHeight to 0 makes it possible to extract a variable number of lines at the end of a record. Examples Example 1: The script command data.
Example 2: The script command data.extract(1,22,9,6,"
"); means that the left position of the extracted information is located at 1, the right position at 22, the offset position is 9 (since the first line number is 10) and the regionHeight is 6 (6 lines are selected). Finally, the "
" string is used for concatenation. extract(xPath) Extracts the text value of the specified node in an XML file. xPath String that can be relative to the current location or absolute from the start of the record.
Example The script command data.extract('./CUSTOMER/FirstName'); means that the extraction is made on the FirstName node under Customer. extract(columnName, rowOffset) Extracts the text value from the specified column and row. columnName String that represents the column name. rowOffset Number that represents the row index (zero-based), relative to the current position. To extract the current row, specify 0 as the rowOffset.
Example The script command data.extract('ID',0); means that the extraction is made on the ID column in the first row. extract(left, right, verticalOffset, lineHeight, separator) Extracts the text value from a rectangular region in a PDF file. All coordinates are expressed in millimeters. left Double that represents the distance from the left edge of the page to the left edge of the rectangular region.
Double that represents the distance from the left edge of the page to the right edge of the rectangular region. verticalOffset Double that represents the distance from the current vertical position. lineHeight Double that represents the total height of the region. separator String inserted between all lines returned from the region. If you don't want anything to be inserted between the lines, specify an empty string (""). Tip "
" is a very handy string to use as a separator.
extractMeta() Method that extracts the value of a metadata field on a certain level in a PDF/VT. This method always return a String. extractMeta(levelName String, propertyName String) levelName String, specifying the PDF/VT's level. Case sensitive. propertyName String, specifying the metadata field. fieldExists() Method of the data object that returns true if a certain metadata field, column or node exists. (See "data" on page 426.
fieldExists(levelName, propertyName) This method returns true if the given metadata field exists at the given level in a PDF file. levelName String that specifies the metadata field. propertyName String that specifies the level. fieldExists(fieldName) This method returns true if the specified column exists in the current record in a CSV file. fieldName String that represents a field name (column) in a CSV file.
Partial matches are not allowed. The entire string must be found between the two constraint parameters. The data.find() function only works on the current page. If the record contains several pages, you must create a loop that will perform a jump from one page to another to do a find() on each page. Note Calling this method does not move the current position to the location where the string was found.
Left=26,76, Top=149.77, Right=40,700001, Bottom=154.840302 These values represent the size of the rectangle that encloses the string in full, in millimeters relative to the upper left corner of the current page. findRegExp() Finds the first occurrence of a string that matches the given regular expression pattern, starting from the current position.
matching can be enabled by specifying the UNICODE_CASE flag (u) in conjunction with this flag. s: Enables dotall mode. In dotall mode, the expression . matches any character, including a line terminator. By default this expression does not match line terminators. L: Enables literal parsing of the pattern. When this flag is specified, then the input string that specifies the pattern is treated as a sequence of literal characters.
Examples data.findRegExp(/\d{3}-[A-Z]{3}/,"gi",50,100); or data.findRegExp("\\d{3}-[A-Z]{3}","gi",50,100);}} Both expressions would match the following strings: 001-ABC, 678-xYz. Note how in the second version, where the regular expression is specified as a string, some characters have to be escaped with an additional backslash, which is standard in JavaScript. db Object that allows to connect to a database. Methods The following table describes the methods of the db object.
user String that represents the user name for authentication. password String that represents the password for authentication. logger Global object that allows logging messages such as error, warning or informational messages. Methods The following table describes the methods of the logger object.
Property Return Type index The one-based index of this record, or zero if no data is available. tables The details table that belong to this record. You can access a specific table using a numeric index or the table name. Example See this How-to for an example of how the current record index, and/or the total number of records in the record set, can be displayed in a document: How to get the record index and count. region The region object defines a sub-section of the input data.
Property/method Description Return Type range Read-only object containing the physical coordinates of the region. Physical location of the region: x1 (left), y1 (top), x2 (right), y2 (bottom), expressed in characters for a text file or in millimeters for a PDF file. For a CSV file, it is the name of the column that defines the region. createRegion() Creates a region by setting the physical coordinates of the region object. A region that has the specified coordinates.
Example The following script attempts to match ((n,m)) or ((n)) against any of the strings in the specified region and if it does, a document boundary is set. var myRegion = region.createRegion(170,25,210,35); var regionStrings=boundaries.get(myRegion); if (regionStrings) { for (var i=0;i
l l For a PDF file, the range() method contains the physical coordinates of the region: x1 (left), y1 (top), x2 (right), y2 (bottom), expressed in millimeters. For a CSV file, the range contains the name of the column that defines the region. sourceRecord Returns a sourceRecord object containing properties specific to the current source record being processed. Properties sourceRecord.properties.
1. Enter the property's name. 2. Select Each record from the Scope drop-down list. 3. Select a Type for the Property. steps Returns a steps object encapsulating properties and methods pertaining to the current DataMapper process. This object is available in an Extract, Condition, Repeat or Multiple Conditions step script. Methods and properties The following table lists the methods and properties of the steps object.
Method Description File type currentPageWidth The width of the current page in millimeters. PDF moveTo() Moves the pointer in the source data file to another position. All moveToNext() Moves the position of the pointer in the source data file to the next line, row or node. The behavior and arguments are different for each emulation type: text, PDF, tabular (CSV), or XML. All totalPages An integer value representing the total number of pages inside the current record.
Example In this example, an extraction area is assigned to the variable curLine each time the current page value has changed. curPage = steps.currentPage; for(i=0;i<100;i++) { if(steps.currentPage > curPage) { let curLine = data.extract(51, 88, 0, 1, "").trim(); curPage++; } } moveTo() Moves the position of the pointer in the source data file. This is a method of the steps object (see "steps" on page 445).
With the scope set to 2, verticalPosition is not used. The position is moved to the next line after the current position that contains any text. Example The following line of code moves the current position in a text file 14 lines down from the current vertical position (steps.currentPosition) of the pointer in the data, as long as it is on the same page. if(steps.currentPage > curPage) { steps.moveTo(0, steps.
String that defines a node in the XML file. Tip The XML elements drop-down (on the Settings pane, under Input Data) lists xPaths defining nodes in the current XML file. moveTo(row) Moves the current position in a CSV file to the given row number. row Number that represents the index of the row, relative to the top of the record. moveToNext() Moves the position of the pointer in the source data file to the next line, row or node.
steps.moveToNext(2); XML scope Number that may be set to: l l 0 or steps.MOVENODE: the current position is set to the next parent node in the XML hierarchy. 1 or steps.MOVESIBLING: the current position is set to the next sibling node in the XML hierarchy. moveToNext(left, right) Moves the current position in a PDF file to the next line that contains any text, the search for text being contained within the left and right parameters, expressed in millimeters.
Example This script copies the file test.txt from c:\Content into the c:\out folder. copyFile("c:\Content\test.txt","c:\out\") createGUID() This function returns a unique 36-character string consisting of 32 alphanumeric, lower case characters and four hyphens. Format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx (8-4-4-4-12 characters). Example: 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000.

The Designer The Designer is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor that lets you create templates for various output channels: Print, Email and Web. A template may contain designs for multiple output channels: a letter intended for print and an e-mail variant of the same message, for example. Content, like the body of the message or letter, can be shared across these contexts. Templates are personalized using scripts and variable data extracted via the DataMapper.
page 464. 2. Fill the template Add text, images and other elements to the template and style them. See "Content elements" on page 641 and "Styling and formatting" on page 753. 3. Personalize the content Personalize the content using variable data. See "Personalizing content" on page 798. 4. Generate output Adjust the settings, test the template and generate output: letters, emails, and/or web pages. See "Generating output" on page 1427.
l "Print" on page 487. This topic helps you design and fill sections in the Print context. l "Email" on page 528. This topics helps you design an email template. l "Web" on page 553. This topic helps you design a web page. "Sections" on page 483. Sections in one context are designed for the same output channel. "Content elements" on page 641. Elements make up the biggest part of the content of each design. "Snippets" on page 749.
There are Wizards for the three types of output channels, or contexts as they are called in the Designer: Print, Email and Web. See: l "Creating an Email template with a Wizard" on page 533 l "Creating a Print template with a Wizard" on page 490 l "Creating a Web template with a Wizard" on page 554 Tip The quickest way to create a Print template based on a PDF file is to right-click the PDF file in the Windows Explorer and select Enhance with Connect.
Warning A template created in an older version of the software can be opened in a newer version. However, opening and saving it in a newer version of the software will convert the template to the newest file format. The converted template can't be opened in older versions of the software. Opening a package file Templates can also be stored in a package file (see "Creating package files" on page 470). To open a package file, switch the file type to Package files (*.OL-package) in the Open File dialog.
Saving older templates Saving a template in a newer version of the software will convert the template to the newest file format. This makes it unreadable to older versions of the software. The warning message that is displayed in this case can be disabled. To re-enable this message (and all other warning dialogs), go to Window > Preferences > General, and click the Reset All Warning Dialogs button at the bottom.
Backup files have the same name as the original template with two underscores and a progressive number (without leading zeros) at the end: originalname__1.OL-template, originalname__2.OL-template, etc. Note The Auto Save function does not cause backup files to be created. File properties On the menu, select File > Properties to view and complement the file properties. See "File Properties dialog" on page 948. The file properties can also be used in scripts; see "template" on page 1398.
To create a package file, select File >Send to Workflowand choose File in the Destination box. For the other options, see "Sending files to Workflow" on the facing page. The package file has the extension .OL-package and can be opened in the Designer (see "Opening a package file" on page 466). Exporting a template report A template report can be used for archiving purposes or to provide information about the template to people who do not have access to Connect.
To test a template first, select Context > Preflight. Preflights execute the template without actually producing output and it displays any issues once it's done (see also: "Testing scripts" on page 875). Sending files to Workflow Workflow can generate output from a template in automated processes. For this, the template has to be sent to Workflow. Alternatively you may create a Package file (see "Creating package files" below) and import that into Workflow.
Creating a Web template with a Wizard With the Designer you can design Web templates and output them through Workflow or as an attachment to an email when generating Email output. Capture On The Go templates are a special kind of Web templates; see "Capture OnTheGo template wizards" on page 592. A Web Template Wizard helps you create a Web page that looks good on virtually any browser, device and screen size.
l Jumbotron l Thank You If you don't know what template to choose, see "Web Template Wizards" on page 474 further down in this topic, where the characteristics of each kind of template are described. 3. Click Next and make adjustments to the settings. The wizard remembers the settings that were last used for a Foundation Web template. l Section: l l l Description: Enter the description of the page. This is the contents of a HTML tag.
l l l l A Web context with one web page template (also called a section) in it. The web page contains a Header, a Section and a Footer element with dummy text, and depending on the type of web page, a navigation bar, button and/or Form elements. Resources related to the Foundation framework (see "Web Template Wizards" on the facing page): style sheets and JavaScript files. The style sheets can be found in the Stylesheets folder on the Resources pane.
Web Template Wizards Foundation With the exception of the most basic one, all Web Template Wizards in the Designer make use of the Zurb Foundation front-end framework. A front-end framework is a collection of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to build upon. Foundation is a responsive framework: it uses CSS media queries and a mobile-first approach, so that websites built upon Foundation look good and function well on multiple devices including desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and mobile phones.
A Capture OnTheGo Form is actually just a Web Form, that you could add without a wizard, but the COTG Template Wizards include the appropriate JavaScript files for the Capture OnTheGo app, and styles to create user-friendly, responsive forms. They are built upon the Foundation framework. Foundation With the exception of the most basic one, all Web Template Wizards in the Designer make use of the Zurb Foundation front-end framework.
2. Select a template. There are 8 types of Web Template Wizards: l l l l l l l l Blank. The Blank COTG Template has some basic design and the appropriate form, but no actual form or COTG elements. Bill of Lading. The Bill of Lading Template is a transactional template that includes a detail table with a checkmark on each line, along with Signature and Date COTG elements. Use this wizard as a way to quickly start any new Zurb Foundation based form for Capture OnTheGo. Event Registration.
Do the same for the background color of the navigation bar at the top and for the buttons on the Form. 4. Click Next to go to the next settings page if there is one. 5. Click Finish to create the template. The Wizard creates: l l l A Web context with one web page template (also called a section) in it. The web page contains an 'off-canvas' Div element, Header, a Section and a Footer element with dummy text, and depending on the type of web page, a navigation bar, button and/or Form elements.
Filling a COTG template Before inserting elements in a COTG Form, have the design ready; see "Designing a COTG Template" on page 588. In a Capture OnTheGo form, you can use special Capture OnTheGo Form elements, such as a Signature and a Barcode Scanner element. For a description of all COTG elements, see: "COTG Elements" on page 717. To learn how to use them, see "Using COTG Elements" on page 606.
Tip Click the Edges button on the toolbar t emporarily adds a frame to certain elements on the Design tab. These will not .Print or output. Tip If you have started creating your Capture OnTheGo template using a COTG Template Wizard, you can find ready-made elements in the Snippets folder on the Resources pane. Resources This page clarifies the difference between Internal, External and Web resources that may be used in a template, and explains how to refer to them in HTML and in scripts.
When refering to them, normally you would simply use the path directly with the file name. The structure within those folders is maintained, so if you create a "signatures" folder within the "Images" folder, you need to use that structure, for example in HTML: 
. In scripts, you can refer to them in the same way, for example: results.loadhtml("snippets/en/navbar.
Web resources Web resources are simply accessed using a full URL. This URL needs to be publicly accessible: if you type in that URL in a browser on the server, it needs to be visible. Authentication is possible only through URL Parameters (http://www.example.com/data.json?user=username&password=password) or through HTTP Basic Auth (http://username:password@www.example.com/data.json).
with an Email Template Wizard; see "Creating an Email template with a Wizard" on page 533. Outputting and combining contexts All contexts can be present in any template and they can all be used to output documents; see "Generating Email output" on page 1457, "Generating Print output" on page 1429 and "Generating Web output" on page 1467. They can even be combined in output. If present in the same template, a Print context and a Web context can be attached to an Email context.
Warning If you don't have a backup of the template, the only way to recover a deleted section, is to click Undo on the Edit menu, until the deleted section is restored. After closing and reopening the template it is no longer possible to restore the deleted context this way. In the Saving Preferences you can set whether a backup file should be created when you save the template; see "Save preferences" on page 862. Sections Sections are parts of one of the contexts in a template: Print, Emailor Web.
Editing a section To open a section, expand the Contexts folder on the Resources pane, expand the respective context (Print, Emailor Web) and double-click a section to open it. Each section can contain text, images and many other elements (see "Content elements" on page 641), including variable data and other dynamic elements (see "Personalizing content" on page 798). To preview a section, open the Preview tab in the Workspace (see "Workspace" on page 1061). Copying a section To copy a section: 1.
Tip The easiest way to copy a section to another template, is to use the Import Resources dialog in the other template. See: "Import Resources dialog" on page 954. Deleting a section To delete a section: l On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the folder of the respective context, right-click the name of the section, and then click Delete. Warning No backup files are maintained in the template.
Applying a style sheet to a section In order for a style sheet to be applied to a specific section, it needs to be included in that section. There are two ways to do this. Drag & drop a style sheet 1. Click and hold the mouse button on the style sheet on the Resources pane. 2. Move the mouse cursor within the Resources pane to the section to which the style sheet should be applied. 3. Release the mouse button. Using the Includes dialog 1. On the Resources pane, right-click the section, then click Includes.
Arranging sections Changing the order of the sections in a context can have an effect on how they are outputted; see: "Print sections" on page 500, "Email templates" on page 539 and "Web pages" on page 560. To rearrange sections in a context: l On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the folder of the respective context, and then drag and drop sections to change the order they are in. Alternatively, right-click a section and click Arrange.
l l AFP IPDS (spool file created by Connect, with printer control available through the "Print Manager" on page 1474) l PCL l PDF l PostScript (including the PPML, VIPP and VPS variants) With the Designer you can create one or more Print templates and merge the template with a data set to generate personal letters, invoices, policies, or any other type of letter you can think of. The Print context is the folder in the Designer that can contain one or more Print sections.
Although generally the same content elements can be used in all three contexts (see "Content elements" on page 641), the specific characteristics of pages make it possible to use special elements, such as page numbers; see "Page numbers " on page 512. See "Pages" on page 510 for an overview of settings and elements that are specific for pages.
See "Media" on page 521 for further explanation about how to add Media and how to apply them to different pages. Copy Fit Copy Fit is a feature to automatically adjust the font size of text to make it fit the available space. It could be used for the name of a person on a greeting card, for instance, or for the name of a product on a shelf talker. This feature is only available with Box and Div elements in Print sections. For more information about this feature see "Copy Fit" on page 769.
Tip Use the Outline pane at the left to see which elements are present in the template and to select an element. Use the Attributes pane at the right to see the current element's ID, class and some other properties. Use the Styles pane next to the Attributes pane to see which styles are applied to the currently selected element. Basic Print template wizards There are two 'basic' Print Template wizards: one for a formal letter, and one for a postcard.
See "Print context" on page 495 and "Print sections" on page 500 for more information about Print templates. Formal letter The Formal Letter Wizard first lets you select the page settings, see "Page settings: size, margins and bleed" on page 511. These settings are fairly self-explanatory, except perhaps these: l l l l Duplex means double-sided printing. The margins define where your text flow will go. The actual printable space on a page depends on your printer.
expand the Contexts folder on the Resources pane; expand the Print folder and rightclick "Section 1"; then select Sheet Configuration.) See "Media" on page 521. l Selectors for variable data, for example: @Recipient@. You will want to replace these by the names of fields in your data. See "Variable Data" on page 813. The Wizard opens the Print section. You can add text and other elements; see "Content elements" on page 641. The formal letter template already has an address on it.
location should be accessible from the machine on which the template's output is produced. External images are updated (retrieved) at the time the output is generated. After clicking Next, you can change the settings for the page. The initial page size and bleed area are taken from the selected PDF. When you click Finish, the Wizard creates: l l l A Print context with one section in it; see "Print context" on the next page and "Print sections" on page 500.
l Choose the desired type of business document from the General drop-down. l Select a color for the colored parts of the document; see "Color Picker" on page 943. l Enter your contact details. l l Click the Browse button to select a logo, or select to use a placeholder logo or no logo at all. Select a PDF file with the letterhead stationery. Also see "Media" on page 521. Tip Nice to know: your info and preferences are saved and will be reused the next time you create an ERP template.
Print templates (also called Print sections), are part of the Print context. They are meant to be printed directly to a printer or a printer stream/spool file, or to a PDF file (see "Generating Print output" on page 1429). The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating Email output" on page 1457. When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print sections is added to the output document, one after the other in sequence, for each record.
In Print sections, there are often elements that need to be repeated across pages, like headers, footers and logos. In addition, some elements should appear on each first page, or only on pages in between the first and the last page, or only on the last page. Examples are a different header on the first page, and a tear-off slip that should show up on the last page. This is what Master Pages are used for. Master Pages can only be used in the Print context. See "Master Pages" on page 518.
Printing on both sides To print a Print section on both sides of the paper, that Print section needs to have the Duplex printing option to be enabled; see "Enabling double-sided printing (Duplex, Mixplex)" on page 508. This setting can not be changed in a Job Creation Preset or an Output Creation Preset. Note Your printer must support duplex for this option to work.
Setting the bleed The bleed is the printable space around a page. It can be used on some printers to ensure that no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document. The bleed is one of the settings for a section. See "Page settings: size, margins and bleed" on page 511. Overprint and black overprint Normally, when two colors overlap in Print output, the underlying color is not printed.
1. Right-click the Print context in the Resources pane and select Color Output. 2. Enable the Keep RGB black in output option. In Connect versions prior to 2018.2, RGB black was not automatically converted to CMYK black. Therefore, this option is by default enabled in templates made with an earlier version. In new templates, this option is disabled by default. Print sections Print templates (also called Print sections), are part of the Print context.
See "Master Pages" on page 518 for an explanation of how to fill them and how to apply them to different pages. Using stationery (Media) When the output of a Print context is meant to be printed on paper that already has graphical and text elements on it (called stationery, or preprinted sheets), you can add a copy of this media, in the form of a PDF file, to the Media folder. Media can be applied to pages in a Print section, to make them appear as a background to those pages.
to be printed out on paper. When a Print template is created (see "Creating a Print template with a Wizard" on page 490 and "Print context" on page 495), only one Print section is added to it, but you can add as many print sections as you need. To add a section to a context: l On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, right-click the Print context , and then click New section. Note that the new section automatically gets the same properties as the first section.
Tip If you need a whole Print section to be visible in the output only under certain conditions, consider using the Conditional Print Section script wizard; see "Conditional Print sections" on page 825. You can use the Conditional Content script wizard to hide parts of the content of a section; see "Showing content conditionally" on page 822. Importing a Print section To import a section from another template, click File > Import Resources... in the menu. See: "Import Resources dialog" on page 954.
output in the order in which they appear on the Resources pane, so changing the order of the sections in the Print context changes the order in which they are outputted to the final document. To rearrange sections in a context: l l On the Resources pane, expand the Print context and drag and drop sections to change the order they are in. Alternatively, on the Resources pane, right-click a section in the Print context and click Arrange.
gives it less weight. In case of conflicting rules, style sheets read later will override previous ones. Note Style sheets are applied in the order in which they are included in a section. The styles in each following style sheet add up to the styles found in previously read style sheets. When style sheets have a conflicting rule for the same element, class or ID, the last style sheet ‘wins’ and overrides the rule found in the previous style sheet. Note Style sheets that are linked to (i.e.
file that was used as input file, or another type of input file, converted to a PDF file. With this option you don't need to make any other settings; click OK to close the dialog. 3. For a PDF resource, you have to specify the path. Clicking the Select Image button opens the Select Image dialog (see "Select Image dialog" on page 1005). 4. l Click Resources, Disk or Url, depending on where the image is located. l l l Resources lists the images that are present in the Images folder on the Resources pane.
images need to be available when the template is merged with a record set to generate output, and that their location should be accessible from the machine on which the template's output is produced. External images are updated (retrieved) at the time the output is generated. 5. Select the PDF's position: l Fit to page stretches the PDF to fit the page size. l Centered centers the PDF on the page, vertically and horizontally. l Absolute places the PDF at a specific location on the page.
Dynamic backgrounds To make the background change based on the value of a data field, you may use the Dynamic Background Script Wizard; see "Dynamic Print section backgrounds" on page 828. Alternatively you could write your own Control Script to set the background; see "Control Script: Setting a Print section's background" on page 905. The settings in a script take precedence over the settings made in the Print Section Properties dialog.
Note Your printer must support Duplex for this option to work. To enable Duplex or Mixplex printing: 1. On the Resources pane, expand the Print context, right-click the print section and click Sheet configuration. 2. Check Duplex to enable content to be printed on the back of each sheet. 3. When Duplex printing is enabled, further options become available. l Check Omit empty back side for Last or Single sheet to reset a page to Simplex if it has an empty back side.
Scripts" on page 897 and "Control Script API" on page 1370). This is especially useful when you need identical sections with different settings. Pages Unlike emails and web pages, Print sections can contain multiple pages. Pages are naturally limited by their size and margins. If the content of a section doesn't fit on one page, the overflow goes to the next page. This happens automatically, based on the section's page size and margins; see "Page settings: size, margins and bleed" on the next page.
l Detail tables can be used in all contexts, but transport lines are only useful in a Print context; see "Detail Table" on page 830. Positioning and aligning elements Sometimes, in a Print template, you don't want content to move up or down with the text flow. To prevent that, put that content in a Positioned Box. See "Content elements" on page 641. When it comes to positioning elements on a page, Guides can be useful, as well as Tables. See "How to position elements" on page 770.
Whitespace elements: using optional space at the end of the last page Print sections with conditional content and dynamic tables (see "Personalizing content" on page 798) can have a variable amount of space at the bottom of the last page. It is useful to fill the empty space at the bottom with transpromotional material, but of course you don’t want extra pages created just for promotional data. 'Whitespace elements' are elements that will only appear on the page if there is enough space for them.
page 518. To insert a page number, select Insert > Special character > Markers on the menu, and then click one of the options to decide with what kind of page number the marker will be replaced: l l l l l l Page number: The current page number in the document. If a page is empty or does not display a page number, it is still added to the page count. Page count: The total number of pages in the document, including pages with no contents or without a page number.
Creating a table of contents A table of contents can only be created in a script. If you are looking to create a short, simple table of contents in one section, you could add a Standard Script that uses the pageRef() function. For an example, see "Creating a table of contents" on page 1336. For a multi-page, cross-section table of contents you must use a Post Pagination Script; see "Creating a Table Of Contents" on page 914.
Preventing widows and orphans Widows and orphans are lines at the beginning or at the end of a paragraph respectively, dangling at the bottom or at the top of a page, separated from the rest of the paragraph. By default, to prevent orphans and widows, lines are moved to the next page as soon as two lines get separated from the rest of the paragraph. The same applies to list items (in unordered, numbered and description lists).
1. Open the Formatting dialog. To do this, you can: l l Select the paragraph using the breadcrumbs or the Outline pane (next to the Resources pane) and then select Format > Paragraph in the menu. Right-click the paragraph and select Paragraph... from the contextual menu. 2. After Widows and Orphans, type the minimum number of lines that should be kept together.
Inserting a page break To insert a page break before or after a certain element, set the page-break-before property or the page-break-after property of that element (a paragraph for example; see also "Styling text and paragraphs" on page 765): 1. Select the element (see "Selecting an element" on page 645). 2. On the Format menu select the respective element to open the Formatting dialog. 3. In the Breaks group, set the before or after property.
Alternatively you could set this property on the Source tab in the HTML (for example:
), or add a rule to the style sheet; see "Styling your templates with CSS files" on page 759. Adding blank pages to a section How to add a blank page to a section is described in a how-to: Create blank page on field value. Master Pages In Print sections, there are often elements that need to be repeated across pages, like headers, footers and logos.
l On the Resources pane, right-click the Master pages folder and click New Master Page. l Type a name for the master page. l l Optionally, set the margin for the header and footer. See "Adding a header and footer" on the facing page. Click OK. Initially, the master page that has been created together with the Print context will be applied to all pages in the Print section.
Adding a header and footer Headers and footers are not designed as part of the contents of a Print section, but as part of a Master Page, which is then applied to a page in a print section. To create a header and footer: 1. First insert elements that form the header or footer, such as the company logo and address, on the Master Page; see "Editing a Master Page" on the previous page. 2. Next, define the margins for the header and footer.
check Tumble to duplex pages as in a calendar, and Facing pages to have the margins of the section switch alternately, so that pages are printed as if in a magazine or book. 3. If the option Same for all positions is checked, the same Master Page will be applied to every page in the print section (and to both the front and the back side of the page if duplex printing is enabled). Uncheck this option. 4.
For further explanation about how to apply Media to different pages, see "Applying Media to a page in a Print section" on page 525. Media will not be printed, unless you want them to; see below. Per Media, a front and back can be specified and you can specify on what kind of paper the output is meant to be printed on. This includes paper weight, quality, coating and finishing; see "Setting Media properties" below.
type of image file) for both the front and the back of the Media, and you can determine how the virtual stationery should be positioned on the page. This is done as follows: 1. On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the Media folder, rightclick the Media and click Properties. 2. Now you can change the name and page size of the Media. Note that it isn't possible to change the page size once the Media is applied to a section. Media can only be applied to sections that have the same size. 3.
not selected, the Select Image dialog automatically adds the filetype parameter with the file extension as its value (for example: ?filetype=pdf (if it is the first parameter) or &filetype=pdf). The filetype, page and nopreview parameters are not sent to the host; they are used internally. Therefore, URLs that rely on one of these parameters cannot be used. l With an external image, you can check the option Save with template.
Setting the paper's characteristics To set a Media's paper characteristics: 1. On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the Media folder, and right-click the Media. Click Characteristics. 2. Specify the paper's characteristics: l l l l l l l Media Type: The type of paper, such as Plain, Continuous, Envelope, Labels, Stationery, etc. Weight: The intended weight of the media in grammage (g/m2).
To apply Media to specific page positions in a Print section: 1. On the Resources pane, expand the Print context; right-click the Print section, and click Sheet configuration. 2. Optionally, check Duplex to enable content to be printed on the back of each sheet. Your printer must support duplex for this option to work.
1. On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the Print context, rightclick the print section and click Sheet configuration. 2. Decide which pages should have dynamically switching media: every first page in the Print section, every last page, one of the pages in between (a 'middle page'), or a single page. (Uncheck the option Same for all positions, to see all page positions.) 3. In the area for the respective sheet position, click the Edit script button next to Media.
Note l l Any Virtual Stationery settings made for the Media also influence how the Media is displayed in each section (see "Setting Media properties" on page 522). Section backgrounds are rotated separately (see "Using a PDF file as background image" on page 505). If in the Media properties, the Virtual Stationery position is set to Absolute, any offset given by the Top and Left values will be applied after rotation.
HTML email that displays properly on a variety of devices and screen sizes is challenging. Building an email is not like building for the web. While web browsers comply with standards (to a significant extent), email clients do not. Different email clients interpret the same HTML and CSS styles in totally different ways.
Designing an Email template With the Designer you can design Email templates. It is strongly recommended to start creating an Email template with an Email Template Wizard, because it is challenging to design HTML email that looks good on all email clients, devices and screen sizes that customers use when they are reading their email.
Email templates: Slate and others The most obvious solution offered in the Designer is to use one of the templates provided with the Designer; see "Creating an Email template with a Wizard" on page 533. The layout of these templates has been tested and proven to look good in any email client, on any device and screen size. The Tables in these templates are nested (put inside another table) and they have no visible borders, so readers won't notice them.
All standard abbreviations can be found in Emmet's documentation: Abbreviations. To learn more about Emmet, please see their website: Emmet.io and the Emmet.io documentation: http://docs.emmet.io/. Preferences To change the way Emmet works in the Designer, select Window > Preferences, and in the Preferences dialog, select Emmet; see "Emmet preferences" on page 852.
Do not capture your email in one big image Most e-mail clients do not automatically download images, so do not capture your email in one big image. The recipient initially sees a blank message and probably deletes it right away. Do not resize images in your email Many mail clients do not support image resizing and will show the image in its original dimensions. Resize the images before you link to or embed them.
1. In the Welcome screen that appears after startup: l l Choose Browse Template Wizards. Scroll down until you see the Email Template Wizards. There are three types of Email Template Wizards: l Basic Email templates l Banded Email templates l Slate: Responsive Email templates by Litmus. Or choose Create a New Template and select the Email template. This starts the Basic Action Email wizard. Alternatively, on the File menu, click New, and: l l Select Email Template.
on which Template Wizard was used. The style sheets can be found in the Stylesheets folder on the Resources pane. The Wizard opens the Email section, so that you can fill it with text and other elements; see "Content elements" on page 641, "Email context" on page 537, and "Email templates" on page 539. Tip Use the Outline pane at the left to see which elements are present in the template and to select an element.
More than 50% of emails are opened on mobile. These five responsive HTML email templates are optimized for small screens and they look great in any inbox. They’ve been tested in Litmus and are completely bulletproof. Tip After creating the email template, click the Responsive Design View icon of the workspace to see how the email looks on different screen sizes. at the top The only thing you can set in advance for a Slate template is the color of the call-to-action button.
page 786. l The web address where the recipient of the email will be taken after clicking the button in the email. Type the URL in the Link field. In addition, for an Invoice email you can change the following content settings: l l Show Welcome Message. Check this option to insert a salutation and one paragraph with dummy text in the email. Detail Table Name. Type the name of a detail table to fill the lines of the invoice with data.
Sending email When the template is ready, you can generate Email output; See "Generating Email output" on page 1457. To test a template, you can send a test email first. This allows you to override the recipient address. Output, generated from an Email template, can have the following attachments: l The contents of the Print context, in the form of a single PDF attachment. (Compression options for PDF attachments can be specified in the Email context's properties; see "Compressing PDF attachments" below.
1. On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder; then right-click the Email context and select PDF Attachments. Alternatively, select Context > PDF Attachments on the main menu. This option is only available when editing an Email section in the Workspace. 2. Change the properties of the PDF file that will be attached when the Print context is attached to the email. Lossless is the maximum quality. Note that this will produce a larger PDF file. Uncheck this option to be able to set a lower quality.
An Email context can contain multiple templates. When generating output from the Email context, however, only one of the Email templates can be merged with each record. Set the 'default' Email section (see below) before generating Email output; see also "Generating Email output" on page 1457. For information about attachments see "Email attachments" on page 550.
Note that when the imported Email section replaces an Email section in your template, the PDF attachments settings are imported as well. (See: "Compressing PDF attachments" on page 538.) Deleting an Email template To delete an Email section: l On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the Email context, rightclick the name of the section, and then click Delete.
In order for a style sheet to be applied to a specific section, it needs to be included in that section. There are two ways to do this. Drag & drop a style sheet 1. Click and hold the mouse button on the style sheet on the Resources pane. 2. Move the mouse cursor within the Resources pane to the section to which the style sheet should be applied. 3. Release the mouse button. Using the Includes dialog 1. On the Resources pane, right-click the section, then click Includes. 2.
Setting a default Email template for output An Email context can contain multiple templates. When generating output from the Email context, however, only one of the Email templates can be merged with each record. To select the Email section that will be output by default: l On the Resources pane, expand the Email context, right-click a section and click Set as Default.
Note Using a variable email address requires you to load dataor a data mapping configuration first; see "Loading data" on page 800. The Email Script Wizard In addition to the drag and drop method, you can use the Email Script Wizard to add data to an email header field. It lets you choose one or more data fields and enter a prefix and/or suffix (per data field). There are two ways to open the Email Script Wizard: l l Via the Email Fields.
Default SMTP settings can be specified in the Preferences dialog: select Window > Preferences, expand the Email preferences and click SMTP. You can add as many presets as needed, for example for different Email Service Providers (see "Using an ESP with PReS Connect" on page 1462). To do this, click the Add button at the right. Then fill out the following settings: l l l l l Name: The name of the preset. This will show up in the Send Email dialog.
To add variable data to the subject of an email section, drag and drop a data field into the Subject field at the top of the workspace. Two things will happen: l A placeholder for the data field appears in the subject line (for example: @email@). l A new script, named Subject, is added to the Scripts pane. You can add as many data fields to the subject as you like.
to make the script work for all email sections. Recipients: To, CC and BCC To specify recipients for Email output, you can simply drag and drop a data field that contains an email address into the To field at the top of the workspace. A new script, named To, will be added to the Scripts pane. Note that you can add only one data field to the email field this way. When you drag another data field into the email field the existing script will be replaced..
Tip A dynamic From address is often used when sending email campaigns and to do tracking of email replies. Include the recipient's email address in a dynamic From address to enable automatic detection and removal of undeliverable e-mail addresses. (This technique is called VERP; see Wikipedia.
4. For a name-type meta tag, enter the value. 5. Enter the content. Example When you add a name meta tag with the value viewport and content width=320, the following will be added to the email header: . For more information on tags, see W3Schools - HTML meta tag.
Note Via a Control Script it is possible to set a different user password and owner password, see "Control Script: Securing PDF attachments" on page 910, "Control Scripts" on page 897 and "Control Script API" on page 1370. Email attachments Output, generated from an Email template, can have the following attachments: l The contents of the Print context, in the form of a single PDF attachment.
This topic explains how to attach files other than those generated by the Print or Web context. Note A plain-text version of the HTML is added to each email if the option is checked in the Email section's properties (see "Properties tab" on page 999). With new templates this is always the case. Attaching files Selecting and adding files as attachments If you want all recipients to get the same attachments with their email, you can add the attachments to the Email section(s).
2. A new script called Attachments has appeared in the list. Double-click to open it. 3. Choose an Email section from the Section drop-down list. 4. Fill in the different parts of which the file name is composed: l l l Prefix. The first prefix contains the base path (or at least the first, static part of the path). For example:C:\Attachments\, C:/Attachments/, or file:///C:/Attachments/. Data field/s. The selected data field/s will be evaluated. If a data field is empty, the entire row is skipped.
If you want to write your own email attachment scripts, there is a how-to that you may find helpful: How to add custom email attachments. Renaming attachments Print and Web sections that are attached to an email can only be renamed via a Control Script; see "Parts: splitting and renaming email attachments" on page 902. Renaming dynamic attachments Dynamic attachments can be renamed via the script that attaches them to the email. Doubleclick the script to open it and click the Expand button.

Capture On The Go templates are a special kind of Web templates; see "Capture OnTheGo template wizards" on page 592. A Web Template Wizard helps you create a Web page that looks good on virtually any browser, device and screen size. Foundation With the exception of the most basic one, all Web Template Wizards in the Designer make use of the Zurb Foundation front-end framework. A front-end framework is a collection of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to build upon.

To make this setting for a particular Web section, right-click the section on the Resources pane and select Includes. Web pages Web pages (also called Web sections) are part of the Web context (see "Web Context" on page 558) in a template. The Web context outputs one HTML web page.
To provide alternative content for the web page, you could use Conditional Content (see "Showing content conditionally" on page 822), or Snippets and a script (see the Help topics "Snippets" on page 749 and "Loading a snippet via a script" on page 884, and this how-to: Multi-page Web template.) Tip For an example of how to serve different web pages using snippets, see the following how-to: Creating a multi-page Web template.
save the template; see "Save preferences" on page 862. Filling a Web page Many of the content elements that are available for all three contexts are particularly suitable for web pages; see "Content elements" on page 641. Do not use Positioned Boxes and Tables to position elements, however; use Inline Boxes instead. Forms and Form elements are only available in a Web context; see "Forms" on page 725 and "Form Elements" on page 730.

<p>Note: HTML has some restrictions as to which types of elements are allowed as children of other elements. For example, a paragraph element is not allowed to have children that are block level elements - like a Div or a Table. If inserting content at the selected location would produce invalid HTML the final result may be different than expected. For example, when you insert a Div into a paragraph, the paragraph gets split in two. This means you end up with two paragraphs with the Div in between. 12.</p>

<p>When generating Web output, these files are referenced in the web page's header and are served by the remote server, not by the Connect Server module. There are a few advantages to using remote resources: l l These resources are not served by your server, saving on space, bandwidth and processing. Using a popular CDN takes advantage of caching - a client having visited another website using that same CDN will have the file in cache and not re-download it, making for faster load times for the client.</p>

<p>Tip If the COTG Form replaces a paper form, it can be tempting to stick to the original layout for the sake of recognizability. Don't fall into that trap. In the end, the users - customers and employees will be happier with a user-friendly form that adapts to different screen sizes and looks like it was designed for the web. Most design guidelines for web forms apply to COTG forms as well. Two key concepts are responsive design and usability.</p>

<p>Usability Usability defines the ease of use of a form. Is the layout intuitive? Are the form elements easy to tap on a mobile device? A visually consistent design allows the user to follow the flow while filling out the form. Below are some key usability aspects to keep in mind when designing forms. Provide clear labels. Many modern web sites show labels inside the actual form inputs while they are empty. This saves space on the form, but once the user has entered data the label is no longer visible.</p>

This event is meant for custom scripts to save information when the user closes or submits the Form. It occurs after the state of all static input fields has been saved. olcotgrestorestate. This event allows custom scripts to do something when the Form is reopened. It occurs after all static inputs have been restored.</p>

<p>Note You should not register for these events after the document has loaded (e.g. on the $(document).ready() event), because these events might get triggered before the document is ready. Place your code in a separate JavaScript file and make sure to include that file in the Web context or in the Web section that contains the COTG Form (see "Including a JavaScript file in a Web context" on page 580). For this file, the order in which JavaScript files are included in the template doesn't matter.</p>

<p>Note When you've used jQuery to register for the events - $(window).on() - you must use event.originalEvent in the event handler functions, for example: $(window).on("olcotgsavestate", function(event) { event.originalEvent.detail.state["mywidget"] = "test"; }); Restoring widgets When a COTG Form is reopened, the app restores all input fields and widgets that were already present in the original Form (i.e. the Form deployed via Workflow or sent as test using the Designer).</p>

<p>When a user takes or selects a picture with a Camera widget, the COTG app stores the path to the image that was taken or selected in a hidden input. This is the path to the image on the device that runs the COTG app. On submitting the Form the COTG app replaces this value - the path - with the actual image data. In this example the hidden fields of dynamically added Camera elements have got the .cameradyn class.</p>

<p>Note: HTML has some restrictions as to which types of elements are allowed as children of other elements. For example, a paragraph element is not allowed to have children that are block level elements - like a Div or a Table. If inserting content at the selected location would produce invalid HTML the final result may be different than expected. For example, when you insert a Div into a paragraph, the paragraph gets split in two. This means you end up with two paragraphs with the Div in between. 12.</p>

<p>Adding JSON data from a JSON file JSON data can either be added to, or replace the Data Model in a template. Importing JSON data into the Data Model makes it easier to test templates that are meant to be merged with JSON data in a Workflow configuration.

<p>This topic explains how scripts work and how you can create and write a script. Most scripts can be made using one of the Script Wizards. For a block of variable data, such as an address, the Text Script Wizard is a perfect fit. Paragraphs can be made conditional with a Conditional Script Wizard. For dynamic images, you can use the Dynamic Image Script Wizard. In an Email context, you are provided with a number of Script Wizards to set the sender, the recipients and the subject of the email.</p>

<p>Tip Hover over the name of a script in the Scripts pane to highlight parts of the template that are affected by the script. Next, the script can modify the selected pieces of content, using values from the record that is merged to the template at the time the script runs.

<p>Page numbering starts with page 1 for each section. If for a section restartPageNumber is set to false, that section will start with the page number following the last page of the previous section. Note that even if a section is not enabled (so it will not be outputted), its restartPageNumber flag is still taken into account for composing the page number sequences. By default, each section has restartPageNumber = false when the first control script runs.</p>

<p>A DataMapper PDF is, as you would expect, a PDF generated by the DataMapper. A Resource PDF is a PDF from another source. For a DataMapper PDF, nothing else has to be done to set the background.For a Resource PDF, the Control Script should specify a path, for example: var resourceUrl = 'images/policy-' + record.fields.policy + '.pdf'; merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Policy'].background.</p>

<p>Setting passwords in script To set a password on a Print section in a Control Script, the script should first retrieve the Print section/s using merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections or merge.context.sections (also see the example below). Next, the script can split the attachments, if needed (see "Parts: splitting and renaming email attachments" on page 902), and it can set a password on each section.

Just like Standard Scripts, Post Pagination Scripts have a selector (see: "Selectors in Connect" on page 891).

<p>What the script does First the script creates a variable to hold the table of contents: toc. Then it collects all <h1> and <h2> elements - in other words, level 1 and 2 headings. The merge.context.query(selector) function searches across all Print sections (see "query (selector)" on page 1407). The query returns a result set. Each of the elements in the result set goes through the callback function defined in each() (see "each()" on page 1346).</p>

<p>Note Whether page numbering restarts in each section, depends on the settings for page numbering; see "Configuring page numbers" on page 514. By default, page numbering starts with page 1 for each section. If the pagination process has changed the page numbers, the TOC needs to be updated as well. To do that, the script first has to collect the page numbers from the table of contents. This is where the number class comes in handy: var $numbers = query('.number');.</p>

<p>The breadth and diversity of PPD files as well as individual printer capabilities mean that the Print Wizard cannot meaningfully validate the selections made, and thus does not attempt to. So you must be careful when making selections. We recommend that you always test each individual selection made, to confirm that they are valid and that they do what you expected of them. This could entail considerable trial and error, but should lead to less anguish in the long run.</p>

<p>For example, if a mailing has two groups on the Job level: one of recipients in Canada and one of recipients in the United States, separating the output on the Job level and printing to PDF would result in two PDF files. If the same documents were also grouped by state/province on the Job Segment level, then splitting the job at the Job Segment level would result in one file per state/province.</p>

<p>Connect 2018.2 Output updates Important Information The Output Engine (Weaver) memory footprint has increased in Connect 2018.2. This means some users might need to increase their Weaver memory allocation in the Engine Setup preferences. This is especially the case for PReS Connect users running cluster configurations. Note: When running really large jobs, it often pays to increase Weaver memory allocation, even if only for the duration of the production job(s).</p>

<p>done properly, this causes the roll output by the printer to have the first page on the outside of the roll, allowing the roll to start with the first page. Our existing option to reverse the order of impositioning is reversing the order of the resulting imposition sheets by starting with the last side of the last sheet, and then going backwards. This effectively turns the stack up side down. It also means that, in case of duplex impositioning, all back sides become front sides and vice versa.</p>

<p>Connect 1.8 DataMapping Enhancements and Fixes Extracting Variables without using JavaScript Variables are frequently used in data mapping configurations as counters or as a way to concatenate values before extracting the final result to a data model field.

This would be useful, for instance, when extracting the body of an email which is never fixed-length.

<p>Connect 1.8 Print Manager Enhancements and Fixes Continuous Printing on IPDS Printers When printing on high volume IPDS printers, it is best if the printer does not pause often. On continuous feed printers in particular, a pause can lead to malfunctions as well as cause delays. It's not just the pause itself, but also the additional time spent whilst the printer slows down and then speeds up again after the pause. The faster the printer, the bigger an issue this becomes.</p>

<p>The Connect Server has its own File Store which it uses for transient files.

<p>Generating all contents using JSON instead of data records A number of customer workflows involve generating new versions of documents based on the original one created by Connect. For instance, a Delivery Note might come back with adjusted quantities on certain line items. Or a web-based status page might need to get updated with additional data. However in many cases, the original data must still be left untouched (for reprints, for instance).</p>

<p>Converting XML to JSON and JSON to XML XML is already one of the most popular data formats used with Connect. In many implementations, most notably web-based ones, XML is used to transfer or update information back and forth between Connect and Workflow.

<p>This yields two immediate and major benefits: l l Data Extraction is much faster since you are only extracting the records you actually want The database will not be cluttered with useless records (potentially numbering in the thousands) that you were not going to use anyway. As a consequence, the automated clean-up process will have much less work to perform when the time comes to delete obsolete entries from the database. This should result in a lighter workload and better overall performance.</p>
