corresponding section of the application's handbook on how to set up a text field with a string that
can hold both, fixed and variable data.
There are three types of applications that:
- recognize placeholders and replace them inside the fixed text encoding string
- require a temporary field and a script to build the full encoding string
- cannot replace user data at all
Usually applications belonging to the latter category will not be used at all for card production with
variable data per record because they cannot even print variable data.
Important
- Sophisticated plugins can provide a user interface to visually build and test a
syntactically correct encoding string that reflects the fields from the selected format
template!
- Applications should provide a way to replace data inside a text field per-record.
