Overview
Selections are defined in the "Select Sheet" of the main DocumentDistribution file, or in the "Select Sheet" of an Excel Template file. A selection is a series of steps that all share the same name. Each step is entered on a separate row and is given a unique step number that determines the order of execution for that step within the overall selection. The step is defined by the Type, TypeName and TypeValue columns which are described in more detail.

Step

Type
- The type of action for the current step of the selection. Types can be actions, field selections, bookmark selections, ...
TypeName
- Name of the Action, Bookmark, Field or Dimension
TypeValue
