I need to DataMerge(Multiple Records)...& create dups of those on the same pg

I've been trying a few things with DataMerge to create a document that has 4 records on a page, and having that record duplicated 4x on the page.
See the illustration below.
So far, no luck on the formatting. (DataMerge is hooked up and working) Is this formatting even possible with DataMerge, or is this too complicated for this utility?
I have a couple thousand records that need to be formatted like this, so I'd like to automate as much as possible. Suggestions on how to minimize the amount of manual-formatting would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks-
Maria

rather than try to explain in this forum, i've made a demo of what i think you're after, as well as the indesign file and associated text file. go to http://colecandoo.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/namequestion.pdf which features the results I think you're after, and in the Attachments component of the PDF (look for a little paperclip item) the associated indesign file plus the text file it is using for the data merge.
put simply, indesign works with a one to one database relationship. what you're asking is a one to many database relationship, which indesign can't do.
there is another solution involving data merge which doesn't require redoing the database, BUT it requires post-processing the merged file and has many critical control points which may cause issues.
That method is to make a textbox IN INDESIGN FILE AT FINAL TRIM SIZE which has the data merge fields for one record only e.g.
<<NAME>>
<<PHONE1>> <<PHONE2>> <<PHONE3>>
then merge the file using the multiple record feature so that four records are returned for each page.
From here, follow the instructions in this post: http://colecandoo.wordpress.com/2011/10/28/theres-more-than-one-way-to-cut-and-stack/
ultimately, how easy/hard this task can be is determined by whether or not the artwork is imposed or not. Is this something that is going to be printed on a desktop printer in your own office; or something handed off to a commercial printer to print? if the latter is the case, I would let the printer handle the imposition as they have dedicated software for that purpose.
hope this helps.

  • How to create multi garnishment order for the same garnishment document

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to create multi garnishment order for the same garnishment document. I tried to copy the entry in IT0195 but the sequence field is grayed out so it will just delete the old record. What configuration should I do to make this possible?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    hi,
    As far as I got it.
    You cannot have multiple Garnishment order but if a need arises you have to maintain it in IT216.
    For that follow this path goto PA30->pernr->194->change->Garnishment->adjustment.
    Since like order you cannot maintain adjustment also directly.

  • HT1386 Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    You can share a library with as many devices as you want but they cannot have seperate subsets like you wish. They would all have access to all information in the library. You could "Manually" sync content to each device by doing the following:
    On Mac: iTunes > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    On Pc: Edit > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    To manually sync data from iTunes to devices see article below:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    If you do not want all devices to have access to all the media from the main library, you would need to create a library for each device. See the article below for more info:

    Hope this helps.

  • How to create a US account with the same apple ID as my current account

    I received a US itunes card given as a gift and it will not redeem in the itunes store since it says I need to have a US itunes account which I do not. Mine is from another country.
    I emailed support and they said I could not use the itunes card nor can I transfer the credit to my itunes account for my country(even if it is still in US$). Though they did say that It was possible to create a US account with the same apple ID. I tried it but when I try to register a US account, in the end it says that the apple ID is taken.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    You can't use the same ID because it is possible to change countries on accounts.  The other person using your ID is you!  However, technically you can only use the store in a country if you are actually present in the country, and you have to have a credit card billed to an address in the country as proof.
    I guess the person at Apple isn't familiar with hte details of thir own legal documents, and you would either have to try to change country on your account (which may run into issues) or start a second account in hte other country (which again may not be easy, nor legal).
    The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

  • I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.

    If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

  • Passing multiple parameters between two report portlets on the same page

    Hi,
    I want to pass multiple parameters between two report portlets on the same page.
    I have been succussful passing a single parameter between two portlets. The
    following are the steps :
    (1) Created first report based on the query
    SELECT htf.anchor('http://192.168.0.84:7778/servlet/page?&_pageid=97&_dad=portal30&_schema=portal30&_mode=3&dept_code='||DEPTNO,DEPTNO) Department, ename FROM EMP;
    (2) Created 2nd report
    select * from EMP where DEPTNO = :dept_code
    (3) Added pl/sql code before display page on the 2nd report
    portal30.wwv_name_value.replace_value(
    l_arg_names, l_arg_values,
    p_reference_path||'.dept_code',portal30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(nvl(g
    et_value('dept_code'),10)));
    (4) Created a page and added these reports as portlets.
    Sofar it works fine for one parameter (deptno) . Now I want to add one more
    parameter say empno to my first report query and would like to pass both the
    parameters deptno and empno to the 2nd report. Please tell me how to pass multiple parameters ?
    Thanks
    Asim

    Hi,
    You will have to do the same thing
    The select will be like this
    SELECT htf.anchor('http://toolsweb.us.oracle.com:2000/servlet/page?_pageid=97&_dad=mb&_schema=mybugs&_mode=3&dept_code='||DEPTNO||'&empno='||empno,DEPTNO) Department,ename
    FROM EMP
    In the additional plsql code do the same for empno like this
    mybugs.wwv_name_value.replace_value(l_arg_names,l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.dept_code',mybugs.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(nvl(get_value('dept_code'),10)));
    mybugs.wwv_name_value.replace_value(l_arg_names,l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.empno',mybugs.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(get_value('empno')));

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Creating 2 separate libraries on the same computer

    So my sister just got her first iPod (nano chromatic), I have had mine for two years (nano second generation). I would like to know if it is possible to create two separate libraries on the same computer. If someone could also please tell me how to do that, that would be awesome. Thank you all so much!
    -Auri

    To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Another option is to create a separate Windows User account for each person on your PC. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Create and customize user accounts in Windows XP

  • How to create  an alternative bom for the same product

    Hi expert,
       I want to know how to create an alternative bom for the same product. Can i use the different bom usage to create or use the same bom usage? In addition, how can i use the production version to link the alternative bom for the same product?
    Please help me solve the problem.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    George shi

    HI
    you can go with t-code CS01
    if you have the BOM already and you want to create the alternative BOM then just goto create BOM
    and enter the material and plant and uasge system will auto matically prapose the next numner ie, if you have Alt BOM1
    then next system will prappose 2.
    then you can enter the components as per you requirement
    if you go to different BOM usage then sytem will not go for alternative BOM it gives again alt bom 1.
    prodcution version you need to craet from mateial master
    each version you can go woith alternative BOMS
    Version 1 will have alt BOM1
    Version 2 can haev ALT BOM2

    I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac.  How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library?  I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

    When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.
