Generating output
When merged with a record set, the templates made in the Designer can generate three types
of output: Print, Email and Web.
Print output
Print templates, also called Print sections, are part of the Print context. They are meant to be
printed to a printer or printer stream, or to a PDF file (see "Generating Print output" on
page816).
The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating
Email output" on page830. When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print
sections is added to the output document, one after the other in sequence, for each record.
To dynamically select a section for output, use a Control Script; see "Control Scripts" on
page545.
There is a number of settings in the Print context and Print sections that have an impact on how
the Print context is printed; see "Print settings in the Print context and sections" on page291.
To split the Print output into several files, see "Splitting printing into more than one file" on
page821.
Email output
The Email context outputs HTML email with embedded formatting to an email client through the
use of an email server. The HTML generated by this context is meant to be compatible with as
many clients and as many devices as possible.
Although the Email context can contain multiple Email templates, only one of them can be
merged with each record. Which one is used, depends on a setting; see "Email output settings
in the Email context and sections" on page831.
Email Output can be generated in two different ways: from the Designer or via Workflow. In both
cases, email is sent in a single batch for the whole record set.
