Dynamic images
Dynamic Images are dynamic in the sense that they are replaced by another image when a
data field contains a certain value. Think of a signature image being swapped based on the
sender's name, for example. You can use the Dynamic Image Script Wizard to make this
happen; see "Dynamic Images" on page238.
Snippets
Snippets are pieces of content that can be re-used within the same template, in all contexts and
sections. Snippets can contain any contents that a section can have, such as text, images,
variable data, dynamic tables, etc. They are often very useful to personalize content, especially
in combination with variable data and scripts. See "Snippets" on page183 and "Loading a
snippet via a script" on page256.
Scripts
Self-made scripts
As soon as you want to do more than what can be done with the available (Text, Conditional)
Script Wizards, self-made scripts are the solution. You could, for example, combine data of two
or more data fields in a condition for conditional text. Or you could load a part of a snippet
depending on the value of a data field. With a self-made script you can achieve anything that
can be done by any of the Script Wizards, and much more. For an introduction on this, see
"Writing your own scripts" on page240.
Control Scripts
When output is generated from a template, Control Scripts run before all other scripts, when a
record is merged with a context. They determine how different sections of the context are
handled. They can, for example, make the page numbering continue over all Print sections,
split Email attachments, or omit Print sections from the output.
Some knowledge of JavaScript is needed to edit Control Scripts, just as for any other self-made
scripts, because there is no Control Script Wizard; see "Writing your own scripts" on page240.
See "Control Scripts" on page258.
