On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the folder of the respective
context, and then drag and drop sections to change the order they are in.
Alternatively, right-click a section and click Arrange. In the Arrange Sections dialog you
can change the order of the sections in the same context by clicking the name of a section
and moving it using the Up and Down buttons.
Outputting sections
Which sections are added to the output, depends on the type of context they are in.
When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print sections is added to the output
document, one after the other in sequence, for each record. The sections are added to the
output in the order in which they appear on the Resources pane. See "Generating Print output"
on page535.
In email output, only one section can be executed at a time. The section that will be output is
the section that has been set as the 'default'. See "Generating Email output" on page549 and
"Email templates" on page107.
It is, however, possible to include or exclude sections when the output is generated, or to set
another section as the 'default', depending on a value in the data. A Control Script can do this;
see "Control Scripts" on page258.
See "Generating output" on page533 to learn how to generate Print documents or Email.
Print
With the Designer you can create one or more Print templates and merge the template with a
data set to generate personal letters, invoices, policies etc.
The Print context is the folder in the Designer that can contain one or more Print sections.
Print templates, also called Print sections, are part of the Print context. They are meant to be
printed to a printer or printer stream, or to a PDF file (see "Generating Print output" on
page535).
The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating
Email output" on page549. When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print
sections is added to the output document, one after the other in sequence, for each record.
