Field Type Description
channel "Channel"
on
page1412
The final output channel: EMAIL, PRINT or WEB. The

attach it to the email.
"context"

page1417
Context The context rendered by this merge run. If for one record,

To retrieve any section in a Control Script, use:
merge.template.contexts.ContextType.Section['Section
name']; (for example:
