Script API" on page871.
Some of the objects are also useful in Post Pagination Scripts; see "Post Pagination Scripts"
on page427 and "Post Pagination Script API" on page903.
For sample scripts, follow the links to the respective objects.
Field Type Description
channel "Channel" on
page901
The final output channel: EMAIL, PRINT or WEB. The
channel doesn't change when the output consists of
different contexts. When generating an email, for
example, the channel is EMAIL, even when merging
the Print context to attach it to the email.
"context" on
page906
Context The context rendered by this merge run. If for one
record, different contexts need to be output (for
example, when the Print context is attached to an
email) a record is merged multiple times: once per
context. Per merge run, merge.context shows with
which context the record is merged.
pagination "Pagination" on
the facing page
Contains the total page count and sheet count of all
sections in the Print context after pagination.
"section" on
page915
Section
In Standard Scripts, this object defines the section that
is being merged.
Note! In Control Scripts, merge.section is not
available.
To retrieve any section in a Control Script, use:
merge.template.contexts.ContextType.Section
['Section name']; (for example:
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section
EN"]).
In Post Pagination Scripts, only Print sections are
available.
