Combine values of variables into a new variable

Post by nmichael »

Hey there,

We use PitStop Server in combination with Switch.

I got the following scenario and hope that you an help me out.

I am using multiple variables which contain order informations such as format, customer-id, finishing, material, etc.
I also use rule-based ones to create a certain output.
I use these to put infos into PDF-Files via an action list. Currently, this is done value by value by adding text objects.

Now I was given the task to combine two values together and store this into a new variable, e.g.

material = adhesive foil
processing = die cut (round) this is a rule based variable

new variable = adhesive foile | die cut (round)


Is a usage of this kind possible?

You cannot concatenate PitStop variables, but you can concatenate Switch variables, so what you need to do is create an extra PitStop variable that is defined as the combination of 2 (or more) Switch variables.

Hi freddyp. Thank you.
This means, that I am not able to access the result of a rulebased variable in PitStop, right?
