Items are merged together to create mail pieces going to each recipient. For instance, retrieving
a letter, an invoice and a notice within the same mail piece, which presumably could be added
within the same envelope. Batching is the same principle when all the Print Content Items are
generated using the same Template file. This tab is only available if the "Content Item"option is
selected in the General Tab's "Entity to retrieve"drop-down. To modify any of the following
options, click in the Parameters box and then click the [...] button that appears.
l Document contents:Defines the Document ("Mail Piece")level and how they are built.
