The “AccessToken” attribute should be added to the <datasource> node in the ‘Datasource.xml‘ file for the EasyCatalog Data Source, for example:
1 2 3 4 5 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <easycatalog major = "11" minor = "0" step = "3" build = "xxx"> <datasource provider = "Salsify" ChannelName = "InDesign: Award Winners" AccessToken = "6e0e92a28f3901319e8d1d65a89d4916f35dbe33d69dd222f346fcf4725b3494"> </datasource> </easycatalog> |
