Split data page
13. Set the options that will determine how the data file should be broken up into multiple pages:
In the first box, select the initial condition used to determine when to end the current data page and to
start a new one. Refer to the settings used to create the document to which the process’ output tasks
will be sending data. Remember that if the selected process will be sending data to multiple documents
created using sample data files that do not have the same structure, you will have to proceed step by
step, choosing a different sample data file for each “document type“. For more information on the
various emulations and data related settings, refer to PlanetPress Design documentation.
▪ To create a new data page for each record in the selected database table or query, select One
record per data page.
▪ To create a new data page every time a given number records has been reached in the selected
database table or query, select Several records per data page and enter the number of records
in the Maximum number of records per record set box below.
▪ To create a new data page every time the current value of a given field changes, select When
[Field Name] changes.
▪ To limit the number of records per page, enter a maximum value in the Maximum number of
records per record set box (cannot exceed 4,000).
▪ Select the Sort on condition field option to use the field selected above (if any) to sort the
records in the table or query before going through the file to create the pages. This option groups
records with the same value in the selected field and ensures that they will be on the same data
page (unless if the maximum number of records per record set has been reached).
Range
14. Set the number of records you want to include in the sample data file. The more records you use, the
more special cases you may encounter and the more potential errors you may eliminate. On the other
hand, too large a sample data file may slow down the PlanetPress Watch/Server Configuration program.
All: Select to include all records in the database in the sample data file.
Records: Select to define the range of records you want to include in the sample data file. Enter the
range (starting record-ending record, such as in 1-50, for example) in the box to the right.
15. Click OK.
The PlanetPress Watch/Server Configuration program creates its sample data file and displays its
contents in the Data Pane of the Data Selector. You can use the Data page box to display the various
pages in the sample data file.

5.2.4 Reopen a Sample Data File
The Reopen Data File sub-menu can contain as many as nine sample data files, each one appearing in the
order in which they were opened last. Note that only those data files that were actually associated with a
given configuration are displayed in the Reopen Data File sub-menu.
To Reopen a Sample Data File:
1. Choose Debug | Reopen Data File.
2. From the Reopen Data File sub-menu, click the data file that you want to reopen.
