Overview of Node Types 
When you create a mail form, the tree structure containing the form elements already contains two nodes:
· New page
· Main window
Each
node has attributes which are maintained on subscreens displayed on the
right-hand side of the screen. The attributes you can maintain on the tabs
General Attributes,
Output Options, and
Conditions are the same for most of the node types (see: 
Shared Attributes
of the Node Types).
Successor Nodes
The tables below list the successor nodes, depending on the node type:
Output areas
|
Node type |
Description |
Possible direct successors |
|
A page of the mail form. Direct successors of this node can be placed directly on the page. |
Window, graphic, address |
|
|
Output area on a page. There are main windows and subwindows. |
All except window and page nodes |
Elementary nodes (without successors)
|
Node type |
Description |
|
You use this node to print any texts (and table contents), except addresses. |
|
|
You use this node to position graphics in the mail form. To include background graphics, use node type Page. |
|
|
You use this node to include an address. The system reads the address data directly from the database tables and formats them for print output. |
|
|
Web Graphic |
You can integrate images directly into HTML mails by using: · the Drag&Drop feature from the mail form node structure tree If you use this feature, you have to enter the following HTML code: <img src = “&CID:%PICTUREX&”>. · the HTML tag '<img src=" ...URL of graphic..."> If you use the HTML tag, the graphic file itself must be stored locally on your Web server. The E-mail therefore contains a link to the graphic and not the graphic itself. When the recipient opens the E-mail, the graphic is then loaded into the mail text. |
|
Subject Line |
You can specify that for a given E-mail, different subject lines be sent to different recipients according to conditions you specify. |
|
Attachments |
You can now include attachments with E-mails and specify conditions by which recipients should receive these attachments. |
