l
Metadata: Uses existing metadata, generally the output of a "Execute Data
Mapping" on page476 or a "Retrieve Items" on page486 task set to retrieve
Records or Record Sets. This source has no options as it expects valid metadata.
l
PDF/VT with Content Creation: Expects a PDF/VT file as an input and executes
basic data mapping on the file. This is the same as using the passthrough option in
the "Execute Data Mapping" on page476 task. Content Items are created
automatically. When this source is selected, the Content Creation tab is disabled.
Note
Once the All In One plugin has been executed with this option selected, any
task that attempts to access records in the database will fail.
Content Creation Tab
The Content Creation tab generates Content Items either by merging a Record Set with a
Template, or by processing a PDF/VT file into individual content items.
l
Template: Select the appropriate template or option to execute it:
l
"None" filename: Select to skip Content Creation completely.
l
"%o": Select to use a dynamic template name. Click on %o to change the
expression that determines the name of the template to use.
l
Template Names: Select the appropriate template name from the list. Adding
templates is done from the Send to Workflow option in the Designer Module.
l
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).
Output Creation Tab
The Output Creation tab generates the output for the current job, using the selected Output
Creation Preset. Note that the Job Creation task normally necessary when using the individual
tasks is implicitly executed before output creation.
