Conditional Dynamic Publishing
|
FinerEdge Publisher is specifically designed to allow conditional, dynamic document processing and formatting to occur
to any extent that the document author may require, allowing for not only variable data printing but also for
variable layout printing. Due to these unique capabilities, you can automate the
customization and personalization of your business documents due to the ability to have:
|
|
- Format change based on data values (XML, SQL, ODBC, Excel, or application)
- Dynamically have content included or excluded based on data values
- Dynamically have images included or excluded based on data values
- New data values calculated for display or further processing
Formatting in FinerEdge Publisher is accomplished through conditional elements and CSS style properties. Because of the
conditional processing capabilities of FinerEdge Publisher and the ability to use conditional expressions
directly with CSS style properties, FinerEdge Publisher encourages conditional formatting. Instead of having a large number
of physical documents for any given document type, the document author maintains a much smaller number of reusable, callable
physical documents.
