5.2 Layouts

To continue you need to start PrintShop Mail. Locate the Postcards folder and open the Postcards.psmd

document. This document contains 4 layouts using a PDF background image. Scroll through the layouts to

view the different designs:

• layout 1: contains the Family image

• layout 2: contains the Sailing image

• layout 3: contains the Music image

• layout 4: contains the Reverse side image

Before we continue lets have a closer look at the database and after that what expression is used to print and

skip certain layouts.

The postcard database

The value of the Interest database field defines the layout to be printed. This is handled through an

expression. The following table shows per record if the layout will be printed or skipped.

The above shows us that Record 1 will print Layout 3 and Layout 4. Layout 4 will be printed on the reverse

side and is required for all records (this is a duplex document).
