00:00:05:21 - 00:00:08:21
The next
thing down is variable suppression.
00:00:08:27 - 00:00:13:27
So this is an incredibly useful tool
if you've got static text
00:00:14:07 - 00:00:17:07
associated with a variable,
00:00:18:01 - 00:00:19:22
and you want the behavior of that
00:00:19:22 - 00:00:22:22
static text to match
what the actual variable is doing.
00:00:22:22 - 00:00:25:25
So the example I've got written in here
is if we've, let's say
00:00:25:25 - 00:00:29:01
our business card again,
we've got a telephone number
00:00:29:18 - 00:00:34:05
where there was also a static bit of text,
which is the T associated with it.
00:00:35:03 - 00:00:37:20
Now this is kind of another way
of achieving the same behavior
00:00:37:20 - 00:00:38:17
we've already seen.
00:00:38:17 - 00:00:42:23
But in this case both the T and the phone
number are in the same text field.
00:00:42:24 - 00:00:45:11
They're not two separate text fields.
00:00:45:11 - 00:00:48:17
And what this variable suppression
way to do
00:00:48:24 - 00:00:51:27
is if you get rid of the phone number
from the phone number variable,
00:00:52:02 - 00:00:56:07
it will also get rid
of the static text of the T.
00:00:59:22 - 00:01:02:00
Now there's a couple of different things
we can do with this.
00:01:02:00 - 00:01:04:02
Let me just show you quickly
how this is configured.
00:01:04:02 - 00:01:07:02
It's even easier than the one before.
00:01:08:17 - 00:01:11:17
So let me go to my example product.
00:01:11:27 - 00:01:15:21
So again on my reference product
I've got a few different examples of this.
00:01:16:08 - 00:01:21:09
and the key thing to to note here
is that you need to have
00:01:21:24 - 00:01:25:18
a, the static text and the variable
within that same text field.
00:01:25:25 - 00:01:28:25
And you can still have,
you can have multiple static text
00:01:29:01 - 00:01:32:09
or multiple variables
within the same text field as well.
00:01:32:09 - 00:01:34:07
As you can see here.
00:01:34:07 - 00:01:37:03
Now all you need to do to activate this.
00:01:37:03 - 00:01:40:05
So if I go to one of my fields,
00:01:41:07 - 00:01:44:00
make sure it's enabled
in the properties tab.
00:01:44:00 - 00:01:48:09
And then make sure you've got this
variable suppression section enabled.
00:01:48:09 - 00:01:48:16
Here.
00:01:49:18 - 00:01:50:15
Now once you've got this
00:01:50:15 - 00:01:53:15
enabled this three options within
you've got left.
00:01:53:16 - 00:01:56:02
You've got right and you've got four.
00:01:56:02 - 00:01:57:05
Now on the face of it,
00:01:57:05 - 00:02:00:21
that doesn't give you a huge lot of detail
as to exactly what that does.
00:02:00:22 - 00:02:04:21
So I'm on hand to show you,
00:02:04:21 - 00:02:07:21
what behavior that would achieve for you.
