Generating Email output from Connect Designer
To generate Email output from the Designer:
1. Open a template with an Email context.
2. Load a data file or database compatible with this template, or open a data mapping
configuration. See "Loading data" on page690.
If you have an open data mapping configuration and open another data file, the current
data mapping configuration will try to retrieve data from the file or database using its own
Data Model and extraction logic.
Note
When generating output with just an open data mapping configuration, the template
is merged with the complete sample data file that is part of the data mapping
configuration. The output is not limited to the number of records shown in the Data
Model pane (which is one of the settings in the DataMapper).
3.
On the File menu, click Send Email or Send Test Email. In the dialog that appears you
can, among other things, attach the Print context or the Web context to the email. See
"Send (Test) Email" on page826 for a description of all the options. Finally, click OK.
Note
About testing emails
When you send a test email, the Email To Script will not be used; instead, the email
will be sent to the address that you specify in the Send Test Email dialog. If you
have a Litmus account, you can enter your Litmus test address. To make the test
address appear by default, you can set the default test address in the Email
Preferences: select Window > Preferences, click the arrow next to Email, click
General and type the test address next to Email Test address.
