Right-click the field to open the contextual menu that allows to select variables, data and
lookup functions (see "Data selections" on page54).
If the template name is dynamic, you must enter the name (or select a variable that
contains the name) and set the value of all runtime parameters that may occur in the
template.
If a runtime parameter is defined in a template, but not set in the task properties, an error
will be raised. Note that it is not possible to change a parameter's type here; that can only
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.

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.
Note
You can only use a Job Creation Preset if the option "No saving or post-processing of the
data records (faster)" is disabled in the Data Mapper tab.
