Operation Manual

166 Adding Dynamic Web Objects
To merge to a new site:
1. Click
Merge to New Site on the context toolbar.
2. WebPlus now generates a new site in a separate window, replicating
the basic repeating area as many times as there are records in the data.
The layout uses the grid arrangement you specified, with each unique
cell including data from a single record, following the order of records
in the merge list. WebPlus inserts new pages as needed to include all
the records. Note that the repeating area is no longer present; it's been
converted to a grid layout using merged data rather than placeholder
fields.
Should you need to adjust display properties such as picture size
and alignment for any individual picture frame, right-click the frame
and choose Frame Properties....
The original site remains open in its own window. Don't forget to save it in case
you need to repeat the merge process with another data set! If you're not happy
with the resulting site, simply return to the original, make adjustments, and
repeat the merge process.
To publish your site:
With your merged site currently active, choose Publish Site> on the File menu
and select Publish to Web.
By default, merging will take place automatically before you publish;
if you don't want to merge each time, uncheck Merge before
publishing in the Publish to Web dialog.
