Writing your own scripts
Personalization can be taken a lot further than just inserting names and addresses, and hiding
or showing text or images. Every bit of information in your communications can be made
entirely personal, using scripts.
A script is a small set of instructions to the program, written in JavaScript.
When Connect generates the actual output – letters, web pages or emails -, it opens a record
set and merges it with the template. It takes each record, one by one, and runs all scripts for it
(in a specific order, see "The script flow: when scripts run" on page874).
Any kind of personalization is done via scripts, but you don't have to write every script yourself.
In many situations you can use a Script Wizard, which will do that for you (see "Personalizing
content" on page770).
For a block of variable data, such as an address, the Text Script Wizard is a perfect fit.
Paragraphs can be made conditional with a Conditional Script Wizard.
For dynamic images, you can use the Dynamic Image Script Wizard.
In an Email context, you are provided with a number of Email Script Wizards to set the sender,
the recipients and the subject of the email.
