• DataLinq configurations are enabled by default. You can suspend this configuration by clearing the Enabled option if needed.
• The <n> Increment option allows you to specify a value other than zero (0) when the <n> increment differs from the number of templates.
• The Live Update option immediately updates an online text object with changes from the associated DataLinq source when the scene is on-air.
• The Entity Decoding option translates HTML character entity reference codes into the correct corresponding characters. For example, the HTML character entity reference code &copy is translated into the © character for a text object.
• The Return Empty on Failure option leaves the object empty if the DataLinq connection fails. You may want to re-run existing content instead of leaving the object empty.
• The Disable Font Tag Parser option disables the parsing of {font} tags from the DataLinq source.
