Hello, I have a legacy Planet Press workflow that I have to move to Planet Press Connect.
The current workflow has a template with 100 single pages, that are triggered by a condition within the data.
Example If the Field = template1 then that condition is true, and that page would print.
I also need to choose a tray. The data contains a filed called
Example if the Field = 1 then pull substrate from Tray 1.
How do I accomplish this in the new Planet Press Connect.
First thing I would do is check why you have 100 form pages in your original PP7 form. Any duplication that is different only by a word or anything like that?
Anyhow, as far as how to re-create this in Connect, you would have a 100 Sections.
Using a Control Script you would turn on and off each Section. That handles each “form page” that you had in PP7.
Now your Media.
When you right-click on a Section and select Sheet Configuration, you will see, next to the Media drop-down list, a button that looks like a sheet of paper with a pen. That is a script. Click on it and it will open the script editor. There you can build your own script that will look at your data and choose which media to use.
Please refer to the following links in our documentation:
Hope that helps.
