A Job Creation Preset can only take content sets as input. So, if you want to use a Job
Creation Preset, the Retrieve Items task must retrieve content sets from the Connect database,
not content items.
This also means that if you want to use properties in conditions to retrieve the correct items,
those properties must be set on the content set level.
However, any properties that you want to be used for filtering, grouping or sorting must be set
on the content items.
Batching/Commingling tab of Retrieve Items task
The Batching/Commingling tab of the Retrieve Items task allows you to group and sort print
content on two levels. You can:
l Bundle content items into "documents" (mail pieces) and sort the items within each
document.
l Put documents in "groups", and define how documents are sorted within a group.
Note that this tab is only available when the Retrieve Items task is configured to retrieve
content items - not content sets.
Separating the output
Print output in batches can be separated just like all other print output, using an Output Creation
Preset in the Create Output task (see "Output Creation Presets" on page1451).
This requires that the output be grouped beforehand, either via a Job Creation Preset or via the
Batching/Commingling tab of the Retrieve Items task.
Note that the terminology used on the Batching/Commingling tab and in an Output Creation
Preset is slightly different.
l
Select Document Set in the Separation Settings to separate the "documents" defined on
the Batching/Commingling tab.
l
Select Job Segment in the Separation Settings to separate the "groups" defined on the
Batching/Commingling tab.
