record

The record object gives access to the record that is currently being merged with the template.

Properties

Field Type Description
fields

Array

The field values that belong to this record. You can access a specific field value using either a numeric index or the field name: record.fields['fieldname'] or record.fields.fieldname.
id

Number

The id of this record.
index Number

The one-based index of this record, or zero if no data is available.
tables Array The detail tables that belong to this record. You can access a specific table using either a numeric index or the table name.

Examples

The following template script evaluates the data field Country in the current record. If the value is 'CANADA' it will show the results, otherwise it will hide them. (The results object contains the elements that match the script's selector; see results and Writing your own scripts.)

if (record.fields["Country"] == "CANADA") {
	results.show();
} else {
	results.hide();
}

In a Control Script, an entire section could be enabled or disabled based on the same condition:

if (record.fields["Country"] == "CANADA") {
	merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section 1"].enabled = true;
} else {
	merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Section 1"].enabled = false;
}
