The following number of sequences in the job: Divides the Metadata into a set
number of sequences and equally distributes the number of levels between the
sequences. For example, it the Metadata level is set to Document, and this value is
set to 5, a 100 document job file will be divided into 5 sequences of 20 documents
each.
l
The following rule: Determine if a new sequence starts or if the current one ends.

level being processed. For details see the "Rule Interface" on page681.
