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.
Input
This task can receive either the information regarding a valid Record Set (which can be the
output of the Create Record Set task, or a Record Set retrieved using the Retrieve Entities task)
or a PDF/VTFile.
Processing
In the case of a record set and template, this task loops through each record in the Record Set.
For each record, an one or more pages are generated using the record's data and these pages
are saved as a content item in the database. In the case of a PDF/VTfile, content items are
created based on the structure of the PDF/VTmetadata and content items are stored using the
data for each of those metadata records.
Output
The output of this task is modified metadata with information about the job processing and each
created content item. No content item is actually output from the task, they are only saved in the
OLConnect Database.
Properties
