Table Of Contents

5. Write a script that appends a <link> element to the results (the selector is head, so the

results contain the <head> of the email).

Make sure to set the rel attribute to related.

The href attribute determines where the file comes from. For resources inside of the

template, use 'images/file.extension' , or 'fonts/myfont.otf', etc.

For external resources, you need the full path to the file, such as

'file:///c:/resources/attachments/instructions.pdf'. Of course,

you can also use dynamic calls such as 'file:///c:/clientfiles/' +

record.fields.client_id + '/invoices/' +

record.fields.invoice_number + '.pdf'.

Examples

The following script attaches a PDF file named letter-CU00048376.pdf to each generated

email. The PDF file is located in the Images folder on the Resources panel.

results.append("<link rel='related' href='images/letter-

CU00048376.pdf'>");

If that same file would be located on the C: drive, the script should refer to it as follows:

href='file:///C:/letter-CU00048376.pdf'.

The link doesn't have to be static; you could use data from the record set to build the link, for

example:

var customerID = record.fields.ID;

results.append('<link rel="related" href="images/letter-' +

customerID + '.pdf">');

Web

With the Designer you can create one or more Web templates and merge the template with a

data set to generate personal web pages.

The Web context is the Web output channel and the folder in the Designer that can contain one

or more Web templates. CaptureOnTheGo templates are a special kind of Web templates. They

are stored in the Web folder as well.
