Retrieving a section
A section can be retrieved using merge.template.contexts.ContextType.sections["section
name"], for example: merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section EN"].
A section can also be retrieved via merge.context.sections['section name']. Remember,
however, that when several contexts need to be merged (for example, when the Print context is
attached to an email), the script needs to check if the current context is of the type that contains
the desired section (for example: if (merge.context.type == ContextType.PRINT) {}). When
sections in different contexts have the same name, it is safer to use
merge.template.contexts.ContextType.sections["section name"].
Fields
Field Type Description
"background" on
page1296
Background Print sections only. Used to set a PDF
background on a Print section. See "Control Script:
Setting a Print section's background" on page836
and "BackgroundResource" on page1306.
enabled Boolean Enables or disables this section for output (see
"Examples" on page1292). Note that even if a
section is disabled, the part and
restartPageNumber fields are still effective to
define the parts division and page numbering over
multiple sections when applicable.
The default enabled state for sections (before any
control script runs) is as follows:
For Web channel requests, the requested web
section is enabled by default. It is possible to
redirect to another section by disabling the
requested section and enabling another section.
For Email channel requests on the Web context,
only the default section is enabled by default. It is
possible to enable different or multiple sections, to
control which sections will be attached to the email.
