Data Merge Software

This is optional software that can be integrated into Magenta or Magenta for Office. It provides the ability to define areas of the form that use variable data. It is automatically included in Magenta Suite and Magenta for Office Suite.

With Data Merge, a field can be specified as:

preslug only (Bubbles only)
preprint only (Text Field only)
print and slug (Text and Bubbles)
binary (Bubbles only)
binary coded decimal (BCD) (Bubbles only)
lithocode
bar code

This means that data of any type can be placed anywhere on the form, including bar coding.

Allows portrait and landscape orientated data on either portrait or landscape forms.
Performs serial numbering for lithocoding.

Uses a single line entry for multiple identical lines (used in rosters and grade sheets).
