Channel
Channel is an enumeration for the output channels. The active output channel is registered in
merge.channel.
The channel doesn't change when the output consists of different contexts. When generating
email, for example, the channel is EMAIL, even when merging the Print context to attach it to
the email.
Value Description
EMAIL The merge request is for output to Email.
PRINT The merge request is for output to Print.
THUMBNAIL The merge request is for generating a template
preview.
Example
The following Control Script selects different sections for Print output and for Email with the
Print context attached to it.
var printSections = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections;
if(merge.channel === Channel.EMAIL){
printSections['Section 1'].enabled = false;
printSections['Section 2'].enabled = true;
}
if(merge.channel === Channel.PRINT){
printSections['Section 1'].enabled = true;
printSections['Section 2'].enabled = false;
}
ContextType
ContextType is an enumeration for the context types.
The type of the context that is going to be merged next can be retrieved via
