Filter and sort
While creating a print job, the Connect server can filter out certain print content items based on
the conditions defined in a Job Creation Preset (see "Data filtering options" on page1174).
The conditions are evaluated per record and can be based upon such diverse criteria as the
value of data fields, the value of runtime parameters (see "Runtime Parameter Options" on
page1172), the binding options used in a source document, or its size.
Note that the overriding finishing options, which can also be defined in a Job Creation Preset,
are not taken into account while filtering. First, the source documents are filtered. Any
overriding finishing options are applied at a later stage.
The remaining items can be sorted, either by the Connect Server, based on data fields, or by
some external sorting software (see "Sorting options" on page1179).
Tip
External sorting benefits considerably from runtime parameters, defined in the Job
Creation Preset (see "Runtime Parameter Options" on page1172).
Grouping
While creating a print job, the Connect Server can group Print content items into Jobs, Job
Segments and Document Sets (see "Grouping options" on page1182).
This allows to organize content in a certain way, for instance, to gather all foreign mail pieces
into one job segment, or to commingle multiple sets of Print content items in one job.
The existence of groups in a print job also allows the Weaver engine, in the next phase of the
print process, to separate the output accordingly into different (spool) files (see "Separation" on
page1481).
It is always possible to separate the output on the document level, i.e. output individual
documents as separate print files.
In order to split the output on other levels, however, the Print content items must be grouped
first.
Include meta data
Meta data can be added to a print job at the Job, Job Segment, Document, Document Set and
Page level (see "Meta Data options" on page1185).
