4.
Click the first field in the column Field, and then click the downward pointing arrow.
Select the data field to be evaluated.
Click the button Add, to add more fields if you want the file name to be composed of the
value of several data fields. Note that only the suffix of the last data field should hold the
file extension.
The resulting file name, including the path and file extension, is assigned to the src
(source) attribute of the image. You can click Options to verify this.
5.
Click Apply or OK. Now click the Preview tab and browse through the records to verify
that the script works as expected.
Tip
The dynamic images feature can be used to insert dynamic signatures, as described in
this how-to: Dynamic signatures.
How to insert dynamic images if there are no data fields with the actual names of the
images is described in another how-to: Dynamic image that doesn't contain the data field
value.
Editing a Dynamic Image
To edit dynamic images added to the template earlier, right-click the image, or the space
reserved for the dynamic images. Then click Dynamic Image to open the Dynamic Image
Script Wizard again.
Writing your own scripts
Personalization can be taken a lot further than just inserting names and addresses, and hiding
or showing text or images. Every bit of information in your communications can be made
entirely personal, using scripts.
Most scripts can be made using one of the script Wizards. For a block of variable data, such as
an address, the Text Script Wizard is a perfect fit. Paragraphs can be made conditional with a
Conditional Script Wizard. For dynamic images, you can use the Dynamic Image Script Wizard.
In an Email context, you are provided with a number of script Wizards to set the sender, the
recipients and the subject of the email.
