General Tab
l
Template File:
l
"None" File name: Select to accept a PDF/VT file as an input and automatically
create content items based on the PDF/VT.
l
"%o": Select to use a dynamic template name. Click on %o to change the
expression that determines the name of the template to use.
l
Template Names: Select the appropriate template. Adding a template to the
resources is done through the Send to Workflow option in the Designer Module.
l
Data Source (see "Input" on page515):
l
Metadata:
l
Update Records from Metadata: If the process metadata has been modified
by any of the "Metadata Tasks" on page462, check this option to update the
records in the Connect database with the metadata and use the updated
records. Otherwise, only the ID of the current job is sent, and the unchanged
records are used.
l
JSON:
l
JSON String: A JSON object or an array of JSON objects representing
records (see "Using JSON" on page512) or a JSON Record Data List (see
the REST API Cookbook).
This option requires that keys in the JSON data have matching field names in
the data model of the template. When they have, the JSON values are passed
to the template and the personalization scripts of the template will have
access to the values through the record's data fields. (See the Designer help:
Adding Variable Data.)
Warning
The JSON format is not validated by the plugin; it is passed as is to the
server.
