| The Build construct contains the variables that will be used to create the final string.
|
|
|
| Syntax Rules:
|
| · | All Outlook fields must be between the "[" and "]". The easiest was is to select an Outlook Variable from the list provided and click on the < button to bring it over.
|
| · | The variable and any static text related to the variable is encapsulated between the "<" and ">" symbols.
|
| · | If the field is empty, the text in the "<" brackets is not displayed.
|
| · | If you want text to be displayed all the time, enter the static text between the full field representation "< ...>"
|
|
|
| When Process Build is pressed, all the contacts are scanned and the results deposited in the Selected Source Field.

| Testing the build before execution. You can test the result of the build by pressing on the "View Contact Properties" button and the build is listed at the bottom:
|
| Special Characters
|
| You can embed special characters into the build command. The special characters escape sequence is $(Special-Character)$. For example, if you want to add a tab (character 9) to the build command, simply enter the string $(9)$ and a tab will be inserted into the build result.
|
| Common special characters:
|
| Tab: $(9)$
|
| Line Feed: $(10)$
|
| Carriage Return: $(13)$
|
| Carriage Return, Line Feed: $(13)$$(10)$
