be set in the template itself.
At runtime, Workflow passes the parameter values as strings, and the type defined in the
template will be used to try and parse the input parameter value. In order to make this
work: Boolean values need to be entered as either “true” or “false”. (When the comparison
actually occurs, it will be a full Boolean comparison. Thus it can compare this runtime
parameter with Boolean data values that are stored as 0/1 in data fields.) Numeric string
values need to be parseable as a number (either a whole integer or decimal value). Dates
should be in an ISO8601 compatible format (e.g. 2019-10-15) or use the current Windows
Locale date settings options. The latter is not recommended as it requires all computers in
the cluster have the same locale data format.
l
Preview: Displays a preview of the output generated by the Print context of the selected
Template. Not available for the PDF/VT or dynamic template names.
By default the entire Print context is printed. Printing selected Print sections can only be
achieved with a Control Script in the template (see Control Scripts in the Designer Help).
Job Creation Tab
The Job Creation step prepares a series of print content items for output generation. A Job is
not actual contents but simply a collection of content items ready to be printed.
l
Job Preset file: Select which Job Preset to use to generate the job.
l
Default: The IDs in the Metadata are used instead of a job preset file.
l
None: Select this option to prevent the execution of Job Creation and Output
Creation. In this case you also have to select 'None' on the Output Creation tab as
well.
l
"%o": Select to use a dynamic preset name. Click on %o to change the expression
that determines the name of the preset to use. The preset name must be available in
the list below.
l
Preset Names: Select the appropriate Job Preset file. Listed are the Job Presets
that are present in the Connect Resources (see "Connect resources" on page38).
l
Runtime Parameters: The Runtime Parameters defined in the selected Job Creation
Preset are displayed and their values can be edited here. Right-click the field to open the
contextual menu that allows to select variables, data and lookup functions (see "Data
selections" on page52).
Note that it is not possible to change a parameter's type here; that can only be set in the
Job Creation Preset itself.
At runtime, Workflow passes the parameter values as strings, and the type defined in the
