2.6.1 Uploading a database file
If the selected document requires a database file to be uploaded the following screen will be shown:
Upload database file page
The list of variable data fields which occur in the document are shown. The database file to be uploaded
should contain at least these fields. The database file can be in Excel, DBF or CSV format. The first row in the
database file is solely intended for the column headings and must not contain any information which is to be
published. Uploading the database file may take some time depending on the size of the database file and the
speed of the internet connection
1. Click Browse to select the database file which is located on your computer.
2. Click Upload to upload the database file and proceed to the next step.
3. After the database file has been uploaded the data in the database can be matched to the fields needed
in the document. PrintShop Mail Web automatically matches field names from the uploaded data with
names in the document.
If the database fields do not correspond with the database fields from the database file, it is possible to
drag them to the correct spot.
The Live update option is checked by default; ensuring that the preview is immediately refreshed if a
different record is selected. This can be achieved by clicking the Previous or Next buttons. It is also
possible to directly enter the record number in the Record entry field.
Click the Preflight link to check the uploaded data for possible problems. A report is shown that states
the problematic records in the data if applicable.
4. Click the Next button to proceed to the next step.
2.6.2 Defining the preview range
After mapping the database fields the user can select the range of records to use for the softproof:
1. Clicking Previous or Next allows specific records to be examined
2. Preview range allows you to check specific records. For example: 1 to 10, 50 to 59, 63 to 90 etc.
3. Clicking the Next button request a proof of the selected records. A PDF rendition of the document is
shown to allow the user to verify that the output is correct.
4. Click Add to Cart to add the document to your shopping cart.
Note: Creating a softproof can take some time depending on the size of the uploaded database, the
speed of the server and internet connection. While the softproof is being created a progress bar
is shown.
