Data Map Block: Prepend/Append

Property	Description
Data Ref	A print job property or the name of a data map entry to be altered. If the data map entry does not already exist, it is created. You can select from the following for a data ref. Manually Entered A property that allows a Designer or administrator to type in the value for a property rather than select it from a list. For a data ref, value must be the fully-qualified name of a data map entry. Job Detail Name A digital representation of a label generated by a print job. Job details can be altered during the print job by using Formula data sources, Script data sources, and business rules. Job Name What is submitted for processing. A job is separated into print jobs and print job details based on the processing rules. A job defines which processes to use. Label Template A digital representation of a label that can be combined with variable data and used by print jobs to generate print job details. Number of Duplicates The number of times to reprint a label by using the same data and without changing the value in any incrementing or decrementing field. Each duplicate printed label is identical. Pages of Labels The number of times to print the content for the labels in a layout. Each page is identical, including the value in any incrementing or decrementing field. Printer A physical printer, print queue, or other target for output, such as an image file or a PDF file. Printer Tray To which output tray to direct printed labels or documents. If a printer has only one output tray or otherwise does not support this feature, this is ignored. For Windows drivers the tray is the name of the tray that supplies the paper. The name corresponds to the configured tray name in the driver setup (not case sensitive). For PCL 5e drivers the tray is the ID number of the tray that supplies the paper. The ID corresponds to the configured tray number in the driver setup. Quantity of Labels The number of times to print a label by using the same data. Each printed label produced is identical except for any incrementing or decrementing field.
Operation	Whether to concatenate text onto the beginning or the end of the data map entry referred to by Data Ref. If a print job property is selected for Data Ref, then the text is concatenated onto the data map entry for that print job property. If the data map entry does not exist, it is set to the value specified. Prepend: The text specified is concatenated onto the beginning of the existing value of the data map entry. Append: The text specified is concatenated onto the end of the existing value of the data map entry.
Value	The text to be concatenated onto the data map entry specified by Data Ref. If a print job property is selected for Data Ref, then the text is concatenated onto the data map entry for that print job property. This value is interpreted as a text string.

Data Ref

A print job property or the name of a data map entry to be altered. If the data map entry does not already exist, it is created.

You can select from the following for a data ref.

Manually Entered A property that allows a Designer or administrator to type in the value for a property rather than select it from a list. For a data ref, value must be the fully-qualified name of a data map entry.
Job Detail Name A digital representation of a label generated by a print job. Job details can be altered during the print job by using Formula data sources, Script data sources, and business rules.
Job Name What is submitted for processing. A job is separated into print jobs and print job details based on the processing rules. A job defines which processes to use.
Label Template A digital representation of a label that can be combined with variable data and used by print jobs to generate print job details.

Operation

Whether to concatenate text onto the beginning or the end of the data map entry referred to by Data Ref. If a print job property is selected for Data Ref, then the text is concatenated onto the data map entry for that print job property. If the data map entry does not exist, it is set to the value specified.

Prepend: The text specified is concatenated onto the beginning of the existing value of the data map entry.
Append: The text specified is concatenated onto the end of the existing value of the data map entry.

Value

The text to be concatenated onto the data map entry specified by Data Ref. If a print job property is selected for Data Ref, then the text is concatenated onto the data map entry for that print job property. This value is interpreted as a text string.
