The first line contains field names; the following lines are data records. This data file has four records and will
generate four signs. To create more signs, add more records, or use the Xerox

Export option to repeat records—which is particularly useful if you want 100 signs using the same record—simply
enter the record data as a single record and then use the Record Repeat option to repeat the record 100 times. The
repeat value can also be a field in the data record, so each record can generate a different number of signs.
The Field Names are Fname, LName, LowerBannerAd, Date, and PercentageOff. Note the use of upper and
lower characters and that all the field names were greater than two characters (to avoid reserved names, etc.).
• Fname contains the first name (first name is not used in this application).
• LName contains the last name (last name is not used in this application).
• LowerBannerAd is a numeric value between 1 and 4. This value is tested using VI Design Express rules
and is used to place variable images and text.
• Date contains the event date, a text string that is positioned on the page.
• PercentageOff contains a numeric text string that is positioned on the page.
The field delimiter is a comma. What happens if the comma is used in the data? You have two options:
• Change the delimiter character to a character not used in your data.
• Wrap your data in quotes. The FreeFlow VI Design Express will strip out the quotes when it generates the PDF.
