l The contents of the Print context, in the form of a single PDF attachment.
l The output of the Web context, as an integral HTML file.
l Other files, an image or a PDF leaflet for example.
Attaching the Print context and/or the Web context is one of the options in the Send (Test)
Email dialog; see "Generating Email output" above.
To learn how to attach other files, see "Email attachments" on page 306.
Before generating Email output
l Make sure that a data set is loaded, that any necessary files, such as images and
attachments, are in place, and that the correct settings are selected (see below).
l
You may want to rasterize certain elements, such as <div> elements, business graphics,
or headings with a special font type. Rasterizing converts the element to a JPG or PNG
image. This is very useful to support as many clients as possible. For example, some
email clients may not support SVG, so converting a resource to JPG instead would
ensure that most email clients would actually see the output.
To rasterize an element, right-click it and select Rasterize options. For a JPG image you
can set the quality of the resulting image in a percentage.
Email output settings in the Email context and sections
The following settings for the Email context and Email sections have an impact on how the
actual emails are sent.
l An Email To Script must be available in the template and refer to a valid email address;
see "Email header settings" on page 303. If any record does not have a valid email, this
record is skipped automatically when generating email output.
l
Note
When you send a test email, the Email To Script will not be used; instead, the email
will be sent to the address that you specify in the Send Test Email dialog.
l The subject of the email is a property of an email section. See "Subject" on page 304.
l The sender(s), recipient(s) and the subject can be set using Script Wizards; see "Email
header settings" on page 303.
l Default SMTP settings can be set in the preferences; see "Email header settings" on
page 303.
