Snippets and Use of

OL Connect Professional Designer
1

Hello,

Relatively new user to Connect here, but I have a simple question. I have two snippets that can either be Snippet A or Snippet B depending on the data flag in the data table.

I have 12 labels on the page and I was hoping that I only need to maintain either of the two snippets if changes are required rather the having 12 of Snippet A and 12 of Snippet B.

Is there a way to load either of the snippets using Java Script inside a conditional element script and apply Xor Y offsets to move the correct Snippet to the correct location on the sheet of labels.

I have looked and I cannot find a method or example that shows this.

Regards,

Muzza

To solve your question, I would create two sections (Label A and Label B) and show or hide them based on the data. Each label would represent a record in your dataset. Then, I would use the impositioning feature to place the 12 labels on the sheets. Not sure if that would make sense for your designs.
