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1166).
Tip
External sorting benefits considerably from runtime parameters, defined in the Job
Creation Preset (see "Runtime Parameter Options" on page1081).
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1161).
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1421).
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1169).
In the next phase of the print process these meta data tags can be used in output file names
and in various conditions.
If the output format is PDF/VT, the meta data will also be included in the print output itself.
Note that these meta data tags can only be used by the engine that creates the final print output
(see "Connect: a peek under the hood" on page161). They are not available in a Workflow
process and are not in any way related to a process's Metadata in Workflow.
If runtime parameters are defined in the Job Creation Preset (see "Runtime Parameter Options"
on page1081), their value can be used as meta data.
