Using Variables

A number of "variables" can be used when creating merge documents. Some of these are special and have specific uses, as described below.

Images

When creating lists with images, remember that the variable inserts the file path to the image. You can manually adjust the size of the image by adding a height or width attribute to the HTML tag, like this: <img src="{{photo}}" height="100">. It's recommended to set only one dimension (either height or width) to ensure the image keeps its correct aspect ratio.

Labels and List Rows

You can control how many items appear on each page using a few specific variables:

• LabelsRows: For labels, this variable specifies the number of "cards" per page. For example, {{LabelsRows:3}}.
• ListRows: For lists, this variable specifies the number of users per page. For example, {{ListRows:12}}.

RowCounter

The RowCounter variable allows you to create numbered lists by adding a sequential number to each row.
