How to Apply a Repeater to Multiple Pages in Mail & Deploy?
You want to apply a repeater to more than one page in Mail & Deploy so that the pages are sorted by the value of the repeater. For example:
- Repeater value 1 - Page 1
- Repeater value 1 - Page 2
- Repeater value 2 - Page 1
- Repeater value 2 - Page 2
- ...
You are unsure how to apply this setup correctly
Solution:
To apply a repeater to multiple pages, follow these steps:
1. Use the "Repeat More Slides" Option:
- You can utilize the "Repeat More Slides" feature to repeat content across multiple pages based on the values of the repeater.
- Look for the option marked in yellow to enable this functionality.
2. Set Up the Repeater:
- Ensure that your repeater is correctly configured to loop over the desired values. For example, if you want to repeat content based on values from a data field, the repeater should reference this field.
3. Configure Page Sorting:
- Use the Repeater value to define the order of the pages. For instance, set the pages to be sorted based on the repeater value, ensuring that:
- Repeater value 1 creates pages 1 and 2.
- Repeater value 2 creates pages 1 and 2 again, and so on.
4. Test the Layout:
- After applying the repeater, preview the document to ensure that the pages are sorted and repeated correctly according to the repeater values.
By using the "Repeat More Slides" option and configuring the repeater correctly, you can generate pages that are dynamically sorted by repeater values and repeated as required.
