Outputting Catalogues as multiple files

If you have specified that Section Headings be included when a catalogue is output you have a choice whether the entire catalogue is saved in a single file or each section is saved in separate files. If you choose multiple files you will be asked to enter the name of the directory in which to store the files.

This feature can be useful when you wish to send individual customers specific sections of a given catalogue as inclusions in email etc. It is also used when you wish to publish a catalogue on the Web. If you specify the Web(or HTML) as the destination for the output the catalogue will be output in a format ready for uploading to your Web page. For example, if your catalogue has 12 sections, each section can be saved in a separate file whose name is derived from the abbreviated section names. To avoid clashes in the names of these files see entering Catalogue Sections in Stock records for advice.
