1 Export

Filetypes

If you want to export to Adobe InDesign files go to export > filetype and select the preferred filetype from the dropdown.

You can set a static filename in Export > Filetype > “Static filename” field.

With static filenames, every file will get the same name and a counting number will be attached. For example if you define static filename to be “mydatamerge” then files will be named like this:

  • mydatamerge_1
  • mydatamerge_2
  • mydatamerge_3
  • and so on

Please note that static filenames only allow a-z, 0-9, – and _ characters. Other characters will be removed or replaced.

Extras

Go to Export > Extras > Record filter and set up one or more filters to filter your submitted datasource. This will not change the datasource itself but provide a filtered datasource to the merge process. You can see how many records are removed in the overview on the left side, written in red.

 

Go to Export > Extras > Record sorting and select the data column to sort records after. Currently theres no multi-sort possible. You may then also choose to sort the records ascending or descending. This will not change the datasource itself but provide a sorted datasource to the merge process.
