Regional Profiles list

Lasernet 11 and 10

You can apply an existing regional profile to the sheet or create a new regional profile:

1. Click Add (below the list) to assign a regional profile to the sheet.

2. In the Edit Regional Profile Mapping window, you can select an existing profile, create a new one, or edit the selected profile:

   • To select an existing regional profile, choose it from the Regional profile lists. For information about how to use Lasernet Developer to add regional profiles to the Lasernet configuration, see the Lasernet Developer guide.

   • To create a regional profile (which Lasernet will add to the Lasernet configuration), click Add (beside the list).

   • To edit the profile that is currently selected in the Regional profile list, click Edit.

3. Use the Active checkbox to toggle whether the regional profile is applied to the sheet.

4. Use the Criteria tab to specify the scenario in which the sheet will use the selected regional profile. Doing this enables you to ensure that particular profiles are used only for specific output documents. For example, you can add criteria that determines the locale of the document’s recipient (by reading a relevant JobInfo or reading a relevant value from the input data), compares that to a specific value (such as United Kingdom), and then (if those values match) selects a UK-appropriate regional profile. Lasernet will run down the sheet’s regional profile list from top to bottom; the first listed profile whose criteria are met will be used.

5. Click OK to return to the Sheet Options window.

Note

If no regional profile is added, the regional profile which is set as default in Lasernet Developer (shown with ✔) is applied.

Lasernet Essentials / Professional / Advanced

You can apply an existing regional profile (that you already created in this form) to this sheet, or you can create a new regional profile:

1. Click Add (below the list) to assign a regional profile to the sheet.

2. In the Edit Regional Profile Mapping window, you can select an existing profile, create a new one, or edit the selected profile:

   • To select an existing regional profile, choose it from the Regional profile lists.

   • To create a regional profile (which Lasernet will add to the form), click Add (beside the list).

   • To edit the profile that is currently selected in the Regional profile list, click Edit.

3. Use the Active checkbox to toggle whether the regional profile is applied to the sheet.

4. Use the Criteria tab to specify the scenario in which the sheet will use the selected regional profile. Doing this ensures that particular profiles are used only for specific output documents. For example, you can add criteria that determines the locale of the document’s recipient (by reading a relevant JobInfo or reading a relevant value from the input data), compares that to a specific value (such as United Kingdom), and then (if those values match) selects a UK-appropriate regional profile. Lasernet will run down the sheet’s regional profile list from top to bottom; the first listed profile whose criteria are met will be used.

5. Click OK to return to the Sheet Options window.

Move up

Move down

You can click Move up and Move down to move the selected profile up or down the profile precedence list.

As part of adding a profile to this list, you can add criteria to each profile in the list, as described above. The first listed profile whose criteria are met will be used.

However, if multiple regional profiles are assigned to the form and specific profile selection behavior is required, you might need to move profiles to specific list positions.

For example, a “fallback” regional profile that has no criteria (and will be used if none of the assigned regional profiles that do have criteria are selected) would have to be last in the list.

Edit

Remove
