"Data selections" on page48).

modified by any of the Metadata Tasks, check this option to update the records
in the Connect database with the Metadata and use the updated records.

l
JSON String: A JSON object or an array of JSON objects representing
records (see "JSON string examples" on page81) or a JSON Record Data
List (see the REST API Cookbook and "JSON Record Data List example" on
page82).
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.
Note
Only the first record or JSON object is processed, since this task can
only generate HTML output for a single record.
l
Embed all resources: Check this option to download the resources and embed them in
the HTML file.
l
Do not alter HTML: Check this option to prevent that the Create Web Content task
modifies the HTML. It is recommended to use this option if the template's resources are all
hosted outside of the template (for instance, on a CMS repository).
