SQL Statement: An SQL statement that is understood by the database you are
using and that will return a series of records that the Microsoft® Word® template is
expecting. Note that no validation is made on SQL statements except if they are for
Microsoft Access and Excel data files. You can use the Test Connection button to
test the SQL and connection string.
l
Test connection: Checks if the Connection String and SQL Statement are valid,
and if the resulting recordset is understood by the Microsoft® Word® document.
This is optional, though highly recommended.

Output Type:

format is not supported by PReS Workflow as a data file or job file, so this option is
only useful if you are simply planning to save the Word document in a specific
location.

output the job file with a selected PrintShop Mail document. PrintShop Mail action tasks let you
print as well as generate PostScript or PDF files. The PrintShop Mail and PrintShop Mail 7
action tasks are essentially the same. The only differences are:
