compiled.
Compiling a Sass file
A Sass file needs to be compiled into a plain CSS file before it can be applied to a section. To
compile it:
1.
Open the Stylesheet folder on the Resources pane.
2.
Right-click the .scss file and select Compile.
The compiled style sheet will have the same name as the Sass file, but with the extension .css.
Compiled CSS files can be recognized by their first line:/* Compiled by https://sass-
lang.com/libsass */.
Compiler options can be set in the Preferences; see "Editing preferences" on page345.
Personalizing content
Variable-data printing is a form of digital printing in which elements such as text and graphics
may be changed using information from a database or data file. It prints unique documents with
customized messages for each customer. This is exactly what you can do with Connect: using
variable data you can personalize your company's communications (including but not limited to
printed matter).
Before you can start personalizing the content of a template, you must open a data file or
database; see: "Loading data" on page314.
The most common ways to personalize templates are listed below.
Variable data
Variable data are data from a database or data file that are used to personalize documents.
Data fields can be inserted in the text directly. For example, if a person's last name can be
found in your data, the field that holds the last name can be used in the text of a letter, invoice or
email. Scripts in PrintShop Mail Connect Designer are the basis of Variable Data Publishing
and are used to personalize documents based on your data.
