Multiple Records Data Merge issue

Hi all, could really use some help here, I've been trying to solve this for hours now:
Made 3 different designs for labels that I'm printing based off of Avery label templates for InDesign. When I go ahead to do my data merge on any of them, I select "Multiple Records" under Records per Document Page, but the preview and the actual creation just spit out a single unique label onto each new page. For example, I'm using 2x4" labels on 2 of these, so it should print 10 per page, but instead of putting 10 unique labels on a page, it puts each new label on a new page. Therefore, instead of 100 pages for the 1,000 labels I'm printing, I end up with 1,000 pages.
I know to double check the size constraints on the text box and make sure it fits when duplicated, and to my understanding, that is looking like it's fine. I'm also fairly certain that the CSV files I'm using are in the right format, too. I'm pretty stuck at this point as to what I need to do to fix this problem, any guidance would be awesome. Below are screenshots of what I'm looking at, please let me know if there's anything else I can provide that would help diagnose the problem.

I thinnk the easiest way to deal with this would be to make sure all the template information from Avery is on the master page. Leave it active while you do the layout in the upper left position ON THE DOCUMENT PAGE, then assign the None master to leave nothing showing but your placholders and added art.
Reassign the template master after the merge.

  • How can I do a multiple record data merge, but specify that a specific text frame with variable data only merges on the first record?

    I'm doing a multiple record data merge, I have 2 frames both with variable data placed inside.
    I would like to specify that one of the text frames only merges once(first record) and the other frame multiple times for each record in the data file.
    Is it possible?
    I thought that perhaps if I place the text frame that must merge once on the master page, it would work.  But you are not allowed to place variable text on the master and on the document page.
    I'm going to try it through scripting next, but thought that perhaps there is an easier way that I'm not aware of.
    Thanks,
    Suzanne

    Suzanne,
    If you were trying to post a screen shot, you would need to return to the forum and post it using the "camera" icon at the top of the post editing windows.
    I use a plug-in from Em Software called InData. One of the benefits for what I do is there are no individual frames on a page to deal with post-merge. Individual frames are great for simple merges (address labels, post cards, etc.). But I typically do more other types of merges.
    That said, there is a drawback--one needs to come to an understanding of writing expressions that actually parse the incoming data. So in the spice price list example, that looks like:
    It's reasonably easy once one does it a few times. And it can be far more complicated. The above is from Em Software's samples that has been tweaked. The best thing I can recommend would be to download the trial and see for yourself. They are good at responding to specific questions if you get stumped.
    I imagine this all could be scripted somehow in ID. But I have no idea how and the plug-in just lets me keep working.

  • Is it possible to do a multiple-records data merge that doesn't generate multiple text boxes?

    Is it possible to do a multiple-records data merge that doesn't generate multiple text boxes? And if so, how?
    For publications such as a directory with contact information, it would be easier to manage the layout by merging multiple records into one text box. However, it seems like the only option in InDesign is to merge the records into each of their own text boxes.

    No, but it's possible to stitch the frames together after the merge, then reflow.  See Adobe Community: Multiple record data merge into paragraph styles-applies the wrong style

  • Multiple record data merge into paragraph styles-applies the wrong style

    Hi, I've been working on this project for sometime and everytime I manage to get one part of the workflow to work another seems to break. My agency publishes catalogs in multiple formats: large-print, audio, braille, and HTML. I've been trying to redesing our work process so that the catalogs will be laid out from merged data out of comma-separated file. The data merges have worked fairly well in Word, but InDesign is a challenge. I'm merging multiple records on a page, like a mailing label. The paragraphs need to be formatted and I'm trying to apply a paragraph style to them. After much work, I think I've finally got the data merge to work correctly, but the wrong paragraph styles are applied. I'm going to apply a new master page to the data once the data is merge that uses the paragraph styles for text variable running headers and I need to build a table of contents based on the paragraph styles so I need this to work. Attached are some screenshots.
    Master page set up for data merge with paragraph styles:
    Here is the merged document with the wrong paragraph styles applied:
    I have only a few weeks to get this process ironed out to keep to our rigorous production schedule. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
    thanks,
    Lina

    I don't remember this happening in past versions. But I mainly use XML. And a quicky test converting your file to XML worked fine (and besides, it ends up all in continuous text frames...).
    I don't do much GREP. But you can do this via a Find/Replace.
    First, in your main document, you can delete the tags--but do this on a second copy of your working file!
    Change your Content Placement options to not remove blank lines (these are in the Datamerge panel).
    Then after the merge, change the format of the two blank lines at the beginning of the records without the two lines of data:
    Note the Change Format style is changing those two paragraphs to Title.
    Then rerun the find to remove the two blank paragraphs.
    I suspect this can be done easier. I am sitting awaiting an appointment and cannot go much further than this for now, sorry.

  • Indesign Cs4 Multiple record data merge

    I am trying to create a response card.
    The sizing is such that they lie three on a letter sized page, and fit into Number 9 envelopes.  I've
    data merged onto the one page (so three target/data boxes in each of the response cards) but when i select expo
    rt and multiple records it doesnt work right.  It generates three on a page of all the same
    record, and then a page of three for each record.  i need each record only once and i'd like to print them three to a page and then cut them.
    advice?  i am not very advanced with indesign, so specific steps would be much appreciated.
    is there a way to print if i make just one card?  it seems you can only do 2 or 4 to a page, not three

    You set your fields three times on the page right?, delete instances 2 & 3.
    Repeat - Set the first instance of all your design, eliminate everything else.
    From the Create Merged Document panel, select "Multiple Fields" in Records per Document and adjust spacing on the Multiple Record Layout tab. (Hint, turn on preview)

  • CS3 hangs on multiple document data merge

    I am using data merge to create documents for high school graduation issues for two different high schools for the newspaper I work for.
    For each school, I have created a single document data merge to print proofs of the individual students. For the first and largest school,
    I've done a successful test run of a multiple document data merge of all the students. I then used the Excel .txt file from high school #1 to create the .txt file for high school #2. We have successfully done the individual data merges for proofs for each of the students in high school #2.
    However, when I try to run the multiple document data merge for high school #2, InDesign gives me the spinning wheel of death. Forever.
    I cand run or preview a single item, but it hangs up if I try to run them all or a range (even just 1-2).
    I am stumped as to why in what are basically the same documents one works and the other does not. Can anyone help?

    Brainstorming with a co-worker solved the problem. A graphic I was using was too large for InDesign to handle on the multiple document data merge. So I reducd the file size, and that did the trick.

  • InDesign Data Merge Issues...

    Hey all, I'm relatively new to using InDesign, I've used it previously for basic artwork layouts etc, and I'm familiar with Illustrator and Photoshop, but InDesign is something I'm still getting to grips with.
    I run a mailing company and we have an ongoing requirement for variable data merging. Software designed for variable data work when dealing with PDFs and high res images is incredibly expensive, and so I figured I could try and make use of InDesign's own data merging feature.
    Now I'm fully aware of some of the irritating little issues surrounding this tool, such as the way if you've got two blank fields it only removes one of them, and I also know it used to have an issue where it would pull data through from the next record to replace blanks, but I don't see that happening any more.
    There are lots of webpages and forums discussing the blank fields problem, but my problem is currently something else.
    I've noticed that some of the fields often don't like to display anything other than the header row, the field name.  You drop the field onto the page and create your merge, but when you preview it or publish it whilst most of the fields do as expected and change to show the data, some of the fields do not, they just continue to show <contact> for instance, rather than a name.
    I'm at a loss to explain this really, it's not even particularly consistent.
    As an example of my problem, I laid out the following address block
    <Contact>
    <Add1>
    <Add2>
    <Add3>
    <Add4>
    <Add5>
    <Postcode>
    What I get sometimes is this...
    <Contact>
    123 Sample Street
    Sample Town
    Sample County
    Sample Postcode
    Or...
    Mr AB Sample
    123 Sample Street
    Sample Town
    <Add3>
    Sample Postcode
    If you add the same field again beneath the one that is playing up, the new field will work, but the one beneath it will then play up, so where in the example above it is <Add3> that isn't merging, if I added another <add3> beneath it, I could almost guarantee that <Add4> would then play up.
    I just don't understand it, and it's frustrating me immensely.
    Ironically I know a local professional printers who are using InDesign for all their digital variable print runs, without issue, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. They are using Macs whereas I am using a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate x 64bit, but I've had the same problem on other Windows version, so is it a Windows related problem, or are Mac users just not spotting this??
    Anyone who has ever experienced something similar and perhaps found a solution, please help!!!!!
    Best Regards
    Richard

    RikRamsay14 - thank you for your response, the issue regarding blanks isn't really the concern here, I'm aware of this issue, and the remove blank lines works where this is only one blank field, if there's two blank fields then it only seems to remove one. But I can happily work around this by just shifting all my data across. The data source is fine and is not the problem.
    Peter Spier - Many thanks for your reply Peter, I thought you might be on to something with this, so I tried opening it from scratch and merging instantly without the use of any previewing, at first I thought it had worked, but when I got further down the merge results I spotted the same problem, field headers appearing where content should be.  These instances are not even where the data cell is blank, it just decides not to display the content, but to display the field header instead, it's inconsistent too so it's really hard to analyse to find a pattern.
    My layout incorporates multiple text placeholders containing multiple variable fields.  I am starting to wonder if this could be contributing to the fault. I have tried just creating one text placeholder, and then using the multiple record layout option to display the other three images (it's a postcard four-up on an SRA3 sized page, with four address blocks).  This seems to be less buggy this way, but I have less control with the layout. I'm going to continue to test this theory today, but it could simply be that it can't cope with multiple variable address blocks.
    Thanks for all your help guys.
    Regards
    Richard

  • Data merge issues in InDesign CS4

    Hello
    I'm having an issue with a data merge document that I've made. The issue  I'm having is when ever I "update content in data fields" items are  deleted off of the page. I have rebuilt it several times but always get  the same issue, any ideas?
    Cheers
    Jack

    That's a feature I have not used, but could not replicate.
    It seems for that feature, you have set up a merge doc with the fields on the Master Page? (preferred method) and created the merged document, edited the data source, gone to the Data Merge Panel and selected Update Content in Data Fields? That generated a log of updated records on my machine with the new data.
    More info needed on your process.

  • Digital Magazine layout & data merge issues

    If anyone can help or offer some advice on the following I would be extremely grateful.  My main problem is applying a data merge to either an existing layout I have created or creating a layout from scratch but having varying box sizes containing merged data and specific numbers of records on particular pages.
    The brief is:
    Create a 28 page digital magazine.
    The magazine will be published either weekly or fortnightly and contain around 500 'listings'.  Each listing has an image, and 4 pieces of variable text.
    My initial plan was to manually enter the listings information - this will take far too long each week.  I am hoping to keep the same layout each week but just change the data on the listings pages by creating a new .csv file each week and applying it using the data merge feature.
    22 of the pages contain 'listings'.  The remaining pages are editorial.
    I'm relatively new to data merge in InDesign.  My knowledge of it's feature is limited to being able to create multiple records but they are all the same size and I don't see any options where I can designate how many records I would like to appear on a particular page and to then keep that layout so I can come back to it each week with a new .csv file and literally just drop it in and i'm done.
    I need the layout of the 'listings' pages to vary so that in some cases there are 30 listings (records) on one page and on other pages there are 23, some are to have 35 etc.  Also on the pages where there are 23 listings - the first 3 listings are to take significantly larger amoutns of space on the page (as featured listings of the week).
    If anyone has used data merge in this way before and can help please let me know.  I have produced a complete layout of the magazine but i'm guessing i'll have to scrap this and start again if I'm going to start using data merge.
    thanks in advance!

    like i said, the XML learning curve is steep as indesign's ability to handle XML on its own is pretty user unfriendly, but ID does get the job done.
    depending on how dirty you want to get your hands, there is an additional book in conjunction to the title i'd mentioned earlier, and it is called "InDesign CS5 Automation Using XML & Javascript" by Grant Gamble which you may want to read. however this is a LOT to digest and certainly not for anyone unfamiliar with programming in javascript.
    is the data for the publication exclusively coming from excel or is it coming from Management Information Software (MIS) which can export XML information? excel on a PC can generate XML but it is useless as a jelly pickaxe as there is a lot of extraneous information saved with the exported XML file.
    there are several people on this forum with a wider experience on this topic than me, and hopefully they are reading this and can carry on with more detailed explanations.
    i'm used to using online converters to take csv files to convert them to XML but the only real advantage of using XML generated this way is to create variable data which flows on in the same text box. This is opposed to ID's data merge which would not flow on the information but instead start the next record in a brand new text box, meaning if an entry has to move from the start to the end, it means making the merge again, whereas if an XML file was used i could simply open up the structure pane and move the record from record 1 to the last record.
    AFAIK apart from indesign and the MIS used to generate the data, i believe that a piece of software called oxygen XML would help in editing the XML once it is generated, but i do not use oxygen XML myself, but perhaps other readers do and can assist you.
    FYI, the project you are talking about is remarkably similar to one which i deal with at work... but we only ever receive the finished art as a PDF, but it appears that the construction method was the same as your idea - that is, take database file, parse it through indesign using different templates and then output it to a media, in my case a printed magazine. unfortunately i can't tell you exactly how they made it as it is proprietary to the client.

  • Multiple record update extension issue (felixone

    I just purchased the Multiple Records at Once Extension by
    Felixone. I have put it to good use but have noticed an issue with
    it. PHP MySQL.
    I am using Dreamweaver 8 with the Repeat Region behaviour,
    and the Recordset Navigation Bar, along with the extension to
    update multiple values at once from a recordset.
    If there are more records than can be displayed on the first
    page of navigation. E.g. Showing records 1-10 of 15, when doing a
    multiple table update (in this case changing a single value from 0
    to 1 and vice versa) a MYSQL error comes up. The operation is still
    completed but it doesn't go to the page specified after the update
    in the extension, but stays on the current page with the following
    error at the top:
    You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that
    corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to
    use near '' at line 1
    In the mean time, to overcome the issue, I am able to display
    all records on a single page, however once the records build up it
    won't be acceptable to have a potentialy very long list of records
    when I would like to display only 15 at a time.
    Has anyone had any experience of this, and if so would you be
    willing to help me. I have emailed felixone but I need this sorting
    out ASAP.
    Notice I have changed the show results to 5000, as going into
    the repeat region behaviour and saying 'show all' would not do
    anything. It always put it back to ten.

  • CS3 Data Merge Issue

    I don't know why I can't figure this issue out! It's similar to the one the poster below had with CS4, but slightly different.
    I am trying to make a page of labels with a different address on each one. I have followed all the steps exactly, selecting multiple records, adjusting, readjusting, and re-readjusting margins, but for some reason it still keeps printing one label per page. For example, the first page has the first name of the database, the second has the second record. It's recognizing the different records, apparently, but isn't displaying them right.
    I don't know why I can't get this to work, any help?

    Nothing lurking on the page. I have a template image but it's on another layer and hidden.
    I have followed the steps exactly. I don't think it's the margins because no matter what numbers I put in there, when I click Preview it just shows the one textbox. I'm so confused as to why this isn't working, it seems to work great for everyone else.
    I'll try to upload the file to my server, it's probably a little detail that would be hard to catch without looking at the document.

  • CS5.5 Data Merge Issues

    Right now, I have my text block with my data fields entered on my master page. The text block has been set to allow master item overrides, as recommended in the Adobe data merge tutorial for CS 5 & 5.5. When I preview my data merge, it looks perfect.
    The problem is that once I tell it to merge, it repeats the first entry on all the pages instead of going down the records in my .csv file. I checked the .csv file in TextEdit, and it doesn't seem to have any errors.
    Has anyone else had this problem and managed to figure it out?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for the suggestion — I tried it without the preview and it worked! And I also figured out I only need one page in the document — otherwise it will create extra copies for each entry (I had 12 pages, so it made 12 copies for each record).

  • OC 3.0 SP1 Multiple incumbents data merged in Pos View and Details Panel

    In OrgChart 3.0 SP1 we have some instances where there are multiple holders for a position (e.g. 2 people job sharing at 50% each).  For all employees the requirement is to display additional data for Employee Group/Subgroup (text), Payscale (Basic Pay IT0008) as well as the standard position/org unit information.  For multiple incumbents there are some negative impacts to the data display and any suggestions on how to resolve these issues would be very welcome.
    1. Details Panel
    If additional fields and data elements are added using the Admin Console, for multiple incumbents the data for each employee displays without distinguishing clearly which employee the data belongs to.  So the first employee's name appears, followed by all data for all employees below.
    Alternative approach was to try to display the data through the Employee Profile (as separate Profile tabs appear for each employee) by editing the XML files.  However, the Profile seems to regenerate in such a way that the additional data for both employees appears in the first employee tab and the 2nd employee tab only contains the basic standard position-org unit information.
    What is the best way to distinguish each set of data for an employee in the Details Panel?
    2.  Position Box View
    In the Position Standard View the box shows "Multiple Incumbents" instead of the specific employee names (although these appear if you mouse over).  To list the names separately within the box, in a previous post we had the suggestion to modify the template file.  However, on closer investigation there appear to be approx 500 instances in 40 files for the relevant views that may need modification.
    Is there a more targeted way to do this?
    I would be very interested to know how others have configured / dealt with the data for multiple incumbents in their org charts and details panels.
    Thanks

    Hi Clementine,
    I hope all is well down under
    1. This is a known bug that is resolved in SP2. If you cannot upgrade to SP2 you can delta-merge the changes into SP1, although this is not so easy for the unexperienced. OSS might be able to provide some comprehensive instructions, but I would advise to upgrade to SP2 if possible (although, again, if you've already configured or customized any part of the Position or Employee details then you need to delta-merge the changes anyway).
    2. This is standard functionality in the Organization Structure with linked Positions. The alternative is to use the Organization Structure that has linked Employees instead. This will display the structure as you are expecting it.
    Let us know if you need more assistance.
    Best regards,
    Luke
