DOC file was moved or sent to someone else.
l Use custom settings: Override the mail merge settings in the Microsof Word®
document and lets you specify your own.
l Connection String: The connection string to any ODBCdatabase supported by
PReS Workflow. You can use the Browse button to open an existing File DSN, or
use the Database Button to open the ODBCconnection interface.
l 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 Microsof Word® document.
This is optional, though highly recommended.
l Output Type:
l .PDFFile (with metadata):The result will be a PDFfile with the number of pages
generated by the combination of the template and record set. Metadata is also
included that complement the PDF.
l .DOCfile:The result is a Microsoft® Word® document in .doc format. Note that this
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.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page771.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be
ignored, and the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file
without any modification. Any initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from
running as a whole, and output tasks will not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to
overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l
Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked.
Lists any process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
