Defining
Variables |
|
In Records mode the unique
page
element identifier, as the first character of that row, indicates
what fields follow. The name, start position and length defines
each field. While unusual, each field can also be defined as
needed, as the variable text or barcode object is created.
|

To define the fields on each page element:
- Select the appropriate page element on the Go
menu.
- Select Properties of... from the Define
menu.
- On the Records tab, click on the New... button to add a new field.
- Type in the field name, start
position and length. Note, you may sub-define a field,
in which case the longer field is sorted ahead of
its sub-definition fields.
- Click the OK button.
- Repeat the above steps to add other fields to
the page element.
