Creating a document using variable objects

The Date data source

Command: Data sources > Date > Add

The Date data source contains a list of data sources. These data sources are fed by the computer's date system

or by the printer. It allows you to display the date and time in the format previously defined. The values are

updated automatically at the start of each print session.

You can insert the current date and/or time into a document. You can also add a fixed value to the current date

or time.

Defining the properties of a Date data source
