3.
Under Format choose one of the following settings:
l
Grouped displays a number with three decimal places and sets the thousands
separator for the value based on the current locale; see "Locale" on page496.
l
Currency displays a number as an amount of money, with a thousands separator
and rounded to two decimal places, based on the current locale; see "Locale" on
page496.
l
Currency no symbol does the same as Currency, but omits the currency symbol.
l
Leading zero adds a leading zero to a floating value between 0 and 1. This format
is only available for fields that contain a float value. Note that when you open a
data file or database without a Data Mapping Configuration, all fields are of the type
string.
l
∑ (Sum) and ∑↑ (Sum Up) are used in Dynamic Tables in a Print context. ∑ is for
transport rules at the end of a page and ∑↑ shows the subtotal of the previous page.
Alternatively, you can enter a custom format mask: click in the Format column for the
corresponding field and start typing a pattern. For example, the pattern 000000 means
that the number should count six digits; leading zeros are added to numbers shorter than
six digits. For an overview of pattern symbols see "Number patterns" on page780 and
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html. Note that for this to
work, in the DataMapper the field that contains the value must be set to SmallInteger,
BigInteger, Float, SmallCurrency or LargeCurrency.
4. Close the Script Wizard. For a new script, don’t forget to add the selector to the template.
Showing content conditionally
One way to personalize content is to show or hide one or more elements depending on a field’s
value. For example, a paragraph written for Canadian customers could be hidden when the
recipient of the letter is not living in Canada, if that can be derived from the data.
Use the Conditional Script Wizard to show or hide one element – a paragraph, image or other
HTML element - based on the value of a data field.
Showing or hiding elements using the Conditional Script Wizard
1.
Right-click the element and click Make Conditional. Alternatively click the black triangle
on the New button on the Scripts pane at the bottom left of the window, and click
Conditional Content Script. The Conditional Script Wizard opens.
