  1. I have to give you a huge Thank You Dan! I really appreciate the help and guidance though this task. It finally works as I was hoping it would. This was a great learning experience using more complex rules and javascript than I had to before, again many Thanks! - Ben
  2. Thanks Dan, just getting back into the swing of things after the holidays. I will take a stab at this, thanks again for your insight and help. Lao the low resolution image was because there seems to be a file size limitation which is quite low for images, I had to keep making it smaller and smaller for it to take the attachment. - Ben
  3. Feel silly asking this but what do you mean by call out that rule in the text frame instead of just the field. Not like this right? When I did this it made a dollar sign in ones that need to be empty.
  4. Hi Dan, posting a new zip file. Same idea just another client who has 6 levels to create check boxes for. I used the rules you had set up for the previous one. All works now yet I can't get the dollar signs to produce when linked to the XLS file. This is perfect except for that. If I switched to a csv file instead, it will make dollar signs, but the boxes seemed to stay all the unchecked version. Would love to use this as is if I could make the dollar signs visible. Last time when I did check boxes manually I had used the number to currency rule to do this, but since we have a rule to return the graphic based on the amount column itself, ice t possible to apply 2 rules to the same field? Sorry if this is getting too complex, just that automation is the key here. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. test2.zip
  5. Hey Dan, sorry I thought I had removed the personal data, I uploaded the wrong one, this file has just the dolor amounts listed, no addresses or names. Again sorry about that!data file.zip
  6. I have been trying and still no luck, I didn't even see that your last reply had gone to a page 2 of the thread, I'd be glad to post the files if you or anyone else wants to take a stab at it. Just to recap, this is a reply card, the data file has three years of $ giving, some people have none, so the goal is to have an unchecked box of there is no $ value, if there is a dollar value of any amount, the box should be checked. Many thanks in advance! EDIT by Dan Korn: Attachment deleted as it contained personal data.
  7. Thanks Dan, Id be glad to share the job files if you'd want to take a stab at it, It would be an InDesign file or pdf and an excel sheet with the data.
  8. Hi Dan, just getting back to this now, thanks for the graphic rule info and visual. I had another thought which would it be possible to use glyphs somehow? I know in the glyph sets in Indesign there are checkbox ones depending on the font. Any idea if these would carryover to Fusion Pro, and is so, would a similar rule be kind of the same thing just not an image rule, but a text rule?
  9. Hi Dan, yes my info was severely outdated! Thanks for this info, I would share my data file and the actual Indesign file if you wanted, but perhaps if I just try to follow what you showed I can figure this out. Did you post 2 image example or just the DnDRule.jpg? I ask because right after where you say .....each field is zero or not, something like this: I see a question mark image icon. If I was to share files, is that possible here somewhere as an attachment? Thanks!
  10. Hello Dan, thanks for the feedback, there would always be the four boxes, yet throughout the data file like in this example, the person did not give an amount in 2020, therefore no checkbox. I really have no knowledge of writing scripts, not sure if anyone has something or an existing rule maybe that would make it so if there was data pulled in for a year dollar amount then the image of a checked box would appear.
  11. So I have this client who works with multiple organizations when they do these appeal mailings. In this case, twice now he has a reply card in which from his data file in Fusion Pro I bring in these dollar amounts as a variable. What he further wants is if there is a dollar amount brought in, he wants a check symbol to be inserted into a check box that comes before the dally amount variable. They way I achieved this was after doing my work in Fusion Pro, I would compose the document, then import that final composed document into InDesign and manually put in check boxes where they needed to be. I don't know if it would be a variable image of check box, or just simply a Dingbat font check. Looking for any guidance or assistance in achieving something that can be done all at once within Fusion Pro. I was hoping to attach a visual of what I am referring to, but can't seem to upload an image, when I click insert image it asks for a link to the image, I just want to upload directly. Thanks!
  12. Thanks for the info Dan, will give it a whirl.
  13. I have been wondering the same, when will it be compatible and why has it taken so long? So if I contact support there is an available patch to make Fusion Pro work with InDesign 2017? Why isn't it an official release? Seems odd because it still says up in the notices bar at top of page that CC 2015 is the latest compatible version, is this patch something temporary? Is it fully functional?
  14. You are a lifesaver! That is exactly what I needed! Thanks!
