Create Print Content
The Create Print Content task generates a set of printable content items from a template's
Print Context, and saves those content items in the database until output creation is requested.
This task also accepts a PDF/VT file as input (see "Create PDF/VT" on page609), allowing the
task to be used without a Connect Template.
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599 task, a "Create Preview
PDF" on page610 task, or a "Create Web Content" on page619 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609).
Metadata
The "Execute Data Mapping" on page626 task and the "Retrieve Items" on page643 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92.
l A JSON Record Data List (see the REST API Cookbook and "JSON Record Data List
example" on page93). When the "Execute Data Mapping" on page626 or "Retrieve
Items" on page643 task is set to output Records in JSON, it outputs this kind of JSON
data.
