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600 task, a "Create Print
Content" on page616 task, or a "Create Web Content" on page620 task.
Properties
Datamapper tab
The Create Preview PDF plugin gets one record from the source selected on the Datamapper
tab. This record is then merged with the template (selected on the Content Creation tab) to
create a preview PDF.
The Datamapper tab can have one of the following source options:
l
Data mapping configuration sets the data source to a data mapping configuration.
l
%o: Select this to use a dynamic data mapping configuration name. Click on %o to
change the expression that determines the name of the data mapping configuration
to use.
l
Alternatively, select a configuration name. Adding configurations to this list is done
through the Send to Workflow option in the Designer module.
Click the Open data model of selected configuration button to view the data
model attached to the chosen configuration in the DataMapper module, to verify that
the right one is used.
l
No storing or post-processing of the data records (faster): This option prevents
data from being written to the database. Instead, records are streamed directly into
the Content Creation process for immediate merging. Turning this feature on can
improve data mapping performance significantly, as well as the time required for the
cleanup process. However, since the data is not written to the database, there is no
way to do post-processing on the extracted data. Any post-processors defined in the
data mapping configuration will be disabled.
This option is unchecked by default.
