All In One
The All In One action task is a combination of 4 different OLConnect tasks within a single one. This makes creating Print con-
tent faster and more easily, as the task is optimized for this specific purpose with less data exchanged with the server as well
as multi-threading support.
The task is build with 3 tabs that represent the 3 main steps of the creation of a Print Output:Data Mapping, Content Creation
and Output Creation. In this case, Job Creation is implied and equivalent to a single created job.
Data Mapper Tab
The Data Mapper tab generates a Record Set from a specific source:data mapping on the appropriate source (Current Data
File, Database or PDF/VT data file), Retrieving items from the Connect Database (filter setting) or uses the current job Meta-
data. The resulting Record Set is given to the Content Creation part of the task. In order to optimize the process, blocks of 100
records are sent sequentially to the ContentCreation in parallel, instead of waiting for the whole record set to be created.
l Source: Indicates the source of the Record Set metadata:
l Data Mapping Configuration:Executes data mapping on the appropriate source. Select the appropriate
data mapping configuration in the list:
l "None"filename: Select to execute default, basic data mapping on the input PDV/VT file.
l "%o":Select to use a dynamic data mapping configuration name. Click on %o to change the expression
that determines the name of the data mapping configuration to use.
l Configuration Names:Select the appropriate data mapping configuration. Adding configurations is
done through the Send to Workflow option in the DataMapper Module.
l Open data model of selected configuration:Click to view the data model attached to the con-
figuration in the Data Mapper module, to verity that the right one is used. Only works for configurations
listed (will not work for "None"or "Dynamic"options).
l Filter:Retrieves records from the Connect Database. This is identical to using the Retrieve Entities task.
l Filter type:Determines at which level to retrieve the records:
l Record:Retrieves one or more Records, whether or not they are part of a Record Set. Output
similar to the Create Record Set task.
l Record Set:Retrieves one or more Record Sets, including all their records. Output similar to the
Create Record Set task.
l Filter:
l Add a condition:Click to add a new condition line. This adds the line to the current condition
level, by default with an AND operator.
l Switch conditions:Click to swap two conditions on the same level, or two groups of con-
ditions.
l Delete the selected condition:Click to delete the currently selected conditions in the list.
l Clear the rule: Click to delete all rules in the list. Note:This cannot be undone.
l Import a rule:Click to open the Browse dialog and load a Rules file. This will load its rules into
the list.
l Export the rule:Click to open a Save dialog and save the Rules file to disk.
l Rule Viewer:Displays a text-based view of the condition using operators and parentheses.
l Sort contents:Defines how records are sorted.
l Sort items based on: Displays the current sorting method. To modify the sorting method, click
on the [...] button at the right of the box to open the Sort Parameters dialog.
l Metadata:Uses existing metadata, generally the output of a Create Record Set or a Retrieve Entities task set
to retrieve Records or Record Sets. This source has no options as it expects valid metadata.
