Connect: a peek under the hood
Connect consists of visible and invisible parts.
The visible part is of course the Designer, that you use to create templates and print presets.
The invisible parts process the Connect job to provide the actual output. This topic introduces
you to those parts.
Here's a simplified, graphical representation of the architecture of PrintShop Mail Connect.
The Connect database
The Connect database is the database back-end used by Connect itself when processing jobs.
It can be either the MySQL instance provided by the Connect installer, or a pre-existing
(external) instance (see "Database Considerations" on page17).
All generated items (records, content items etc.) are stored in this database .
Note
Email content items are not stored in the Connect database.
