Layouts
To continue you need to start PrintShop Mail version 6.0.1 or higher. Locate the Postcards folder
and open the Postcards.psmd document. This document contains 4 layouts using a PDF background
image. Scroll through the layouts to view the different designs:
•
layout 1: contains the Family image
•
layout 2: contains the Sailing image
•
layout 3: contains the Music image
•
layout 4: contains the Reverse side image
Before we continue lets have a closer look at the database and after that what expression is used to
print and skip certain layouts.
The postcard database
The value of the Interest database field defines the layout to be printed. This is handled through an
expression. The following table shows per record if the layout will be printed or skipped.
Interest Layout 1 Layout 2 Layout 3 Layout 4
Record 1 Cultural Skip Skip Print Print
Record 2 Family Print Skip Skip Print
Record 3 Active Skip Print Skip Print
Record 4 Family Print Skip Skip Print
Record 5 Active Skip Print Skip Print
The above shows us that Record 1 will print Layout 3 and Layout 4. Layout 4 will be printed on the
reverse side and is required for all records (this is a duplex document).
