8 Dynamic Art -> Multi Link Dynamic Art supports multiple links within a single text placeholder. All necessary IPC/GS1 attributes can be set per each link independently. When auto-linking the XML content via Dynamic Content later on, all the matching XML content will be loaded into the placeholder. Also some Dynamic Text specific attributes can be set - preserving whitespaces and paragraph. The selection of IPC/GS1 XML attributes is simplified by the dialog re-design. 8

9 9 CHILI Plug-in

10 CHILI plug-in A new plug-in to give the ability to create CHILI templates for use on WebCenter running the CHILI Publisher extension. Uses Dynamic Art plug-in for converting text objects and barcodes to tagged placeholders, which may be then edited and visualized by CHILI editor on WCR. 10

11 CHILI plug-in cont. Generates proprietary self-containing packages, which can be saved or sent using WebCenter Connector plug-in to WCR CHILI plug-in can export layers optionally visible for creating the variants of the same artwork. The exported variables can stay with no constraints or can be pre-defined as a list of fixed options. CHILI variables can be linked with the WCR Attributes for better integration. The packages can be edited on WCR, then their text content can be loaded to Dynamic Content and populated to the template as usual XML files. 11

If you press the DC Synchronize button a log-in dialog will show up. Also, the check is always done if you are logged in, regardless of the checking interval in the preferences. Double-click on a WCR-linked document in the DC palette, a new information dialog with useful information will show up. You can also log into WCR from here or open it in the browser. 14
