DataLinker 1.0.0.22

DataLinker allows users to link CSV (Comma Separated Value or a flat text data file) and, with an add-on plug-in, ODBC-compliant databases to a document by using a simple, user-friendly palette. DataLinker will automatically insert new information or changes made to the data source with a synchronize feature. The versatile plug-in offers powerful merge capabilities to insert data from a data source one field at a time or from multiple records simultaneously. DataLinker integrates closely with Teacups TableStyles/CellStyles and BarcodeMaker plug-ins, offering extra productivity gains for people working with tables or barcodes. DataLinker will be a valuable timesaver for anyone who needs to connect directly to external data such as price lists, product catalogs, budgets or annual reports.

DataLinker features include:

• Links to an unlimited number of data sources in a single document. It’s simple and straightforward to connect to multiple CSV and ODBC data sources to an InDesign document.
• Integrates with Teacups BarcodeMaker to automate barcode creation. Create up to 21 customizable barcodes from database data. DataLinker is designed to work with Teacup’s BarcodeMaker plug-in.
• Automatic Formatting. Set a few rules on a field and DataLinker will automatically format text as it’s placed to ensure continuity within your document.
• Easy data merging. Simultaneously merge multiple records into an InDesign document. Data can be merged into a flat text file or a table.
• Links images to image frames and then apply object styles when they are connected.
• Quickly update your document with the synchronize feature. DataLinker will automatically insert any new information or changes made to the data source.
