A) Documents list box as displayed in two different properties dialog boxes. The None option (or passthrough option)

always appears at the top of the list. Below is the dynamic document name box, which is in fact a variable property.

Available documents are then listed in alphabetical order by document names. Available documents may be sort by

clicking the list headings. Click the same heading again to resort the list in reverse order. Drag borders to resize the

columns.

4.13.1 Variable Document Names

You may want to use a different document with each job, when creating an output or action task for which

you can select a document. So instead of creating a Printer Queue Output task to print standard bank

statements and another one to print executive statements, for example, you would create a single task that

would be able to dynamically pick the proper statement on the fly for each job.

A) Variable (or dynamic) document name selected in the properties of a PlanetPress Image output task. When

PlanetPress Watch/Server processes this task, it looks in the data at the location indicated in this box to determine the

name of the proper document.

To achieve this, we have integrated a variable property box (see Variable Properties (Page 0)) in the

document list. You may click this field and manually enter a variable document name, or you may use the

options available via the right-click menu. You can even use a combination of variable and static text. Let us

say you use the following dynamic filename: “%O.ptk” (the quotation marks are only used to set the

filename apart from the rest of the text—you should not use these quotes). At runtime the “%O” part will be

dynamically replaced by the data file’s original file name with the extension removed and the static “.ptk”

extension will be added. So if a data file named “Bill.txt” is received, for example, the document “Bill.ptk”

would be dynamically selected.
