Navigation: Using the Cobwebb Designer > Defining Destination Address Details

If you wish to retrieve information from the Output pane to say, name your file using the PO number for instance then you would use the Address tool. Select the Address icon or press 0. Select the PO number or similar entry on your Output pane using your mouse. If you open the Explorer view you will see the Address Element, you need to select this element and drag it into your File Output Device. Now select Properties for this element and on the Address tab you will see that File Path is the default type, change this to File Name. If you click on the arrow to the right of the type entry you will see that there are several other options. For the File output device they make up the destination and name for your output and twenty parameters that may be passed into an Exit program. You may repeat the above for each element that you require.

Valid file address elements are: -

Element name	Description
File Path	Destination for your file output.
File Name	Name of your file output.
First Page	This is for you to select data to breakdown your file output into individual files. This information is copied to the Page tab for your Output Device. For further explanation please refer to File Output Device Settings. Note: The Delete box is not enabled for this type of Address element but you can do this by going to the Page tab for your Output Device and change the Comparison Type to be one of the entries suffixed (Delete).
File Owner	Specify a valid Server User Id to be used as the owner of the generated file output.

Parameter 1 - 20	Information to be passed to your file exit program. Note: An Exit program may be defined in your File Output Device if you wish to add information for say archiving software. This program requires a different set of parameters as defined in the Cobwebb File Exit Program topic.
