Tip
Drag-and-drop a template from the Connect resources in the Configuration Components
pane on a process to add this task or one of the other OL Connect tasks that create
content from a template: a "Create Email Content" on page590 task, a "Create Preview
PDF" on page601 task, or a "Create Web Content" on page611 task.
Input
This task can receive either Metadata containing information regarding a valid Record Set, or
JSON data, or a PDF/VT File (see "Create PDF/VT" on page600).
Metadata
The "Execute Data Mapping" on page618 task and the "Retrieve Items" on page635 task
output Metadata containing information regarding a Record Set.
JSON
The Create Print Content task supports two types of JSON:
l A JSON object or an array of JSON objects representing records. If a value in a record
object is a string, it is considered to be a field value. If a value in a record object is a
JSON object, it is considered to be a nested table with detail records. For examples, see
"JSON string examples" on page90.
l A JSON Record Data List (see the REST API Cookbook and "JSON Record Data List
example" on page92). When the "Execute Data Mapping" on page618 or "Retrieve
Items" on page635 task is set to output Records in JSON, it outputs this kind of JSON
data.
If the input is JSON, the task performs a REST call to the
/rest/serverengine/workflow/contentcreation/{templateId} endpoint on the Connect
Server. For more information see the REST API Cookbook.
Note
When JSON data is used as input, the "Create Job" on page595 plugin (the next task in
a print process) cannot use a Job Creation Preset. The Create Print Content task doesn't
