Up to now, you could print this label and it would remain constant for each disc you planned to print. But we want
to print some information that is unique for each disc. To do this, a merge field must be added and we have to tell
SureThing where to get this data from so it can print it.
Creating your data merge file (CSV)
A very simple CSV can be created in Notepad, an application that is apart of the Windows Operating System. You can
also use Microsoft Excel and simply export to a CSV format. A CSV format is information that is separated by commas,
hence the name, Comma Separated Value.
Using Notepad:
In this example, we have
created a simple list of names.
This example demonstrates a
single field. Each name
represents a record.
There are 4 records in this
example.
Using Excel:
This example shows how to
create a CSV using Microsoft
Excel. The screenshot has
been blown up to make
viewing easier.
As shown, each name is put on
a separate line. Each line
represents a record. This
example has 1 field with 4
records.
