Concatenation

Concatenation is very powerful functionality offered in PriceCardPro®. It offers you unlimited ways to present or store data.

In this example we are adding a new Text object to our Layout and we have it set to the default Standard Object Type, Fixed Value, and we enter a value into the text area, in this case "Fixed" Now we click on the Concatenate button under the formatting options.

Now we get a new option to select a Standard Object Type, in this case, also a Fixed Value of "With Concatenate" is used but this can be any Standard Object Type available.

Now you see that the Standard Object Type is changed from Fixed Value to Concatenation as indicated with the red square above.


The Concatenations are divided by expandable tabs. When you click on the left down arrow CE_Designer_SOT_Concatenation4 it will open the selected one and close the previous opened:

You also see a red vertical line on the left. This indicates the group of Concatenations. There are no limitations to the amount of Concatenations you can make. You can always change your Concatenations in the Properties window at the Content section.


By default, Concatenations are automatically separated with spaces. You can uncheck this option if you do not need it and you can also add a Prefix/Suffix when using database columns as the source for the content.
