When the design is customized, the number of items equals the number of records that have been manually created or uploaded by the customer. When an upload is made, data columns can then be linked up with corresponding elements on the design Please note, this is a Premium Module and it is only available to Premium subscribers.

Now when a design is submitted with variable data, the PDF file will contain pages that correspond to the number of records contained in the uploaded file. The previews only generates the current page you’re on to prevent having hundreds of preview images on the browser. If you would like to update the QUANTITY based on the number of records in your file you can do so by using our Page Count Module alongside the variable data module. Lastly, in the object data passed down to the saved function, a “records” value is passed which states the number of data records the design contains. This can be used for other purposes like updating other custom modules. See demo: Save the Date variable data demo
