l 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. For each metadata level, the current value of the specified metadata
attribute / field is compared with the one in memory. If they are different, either
a new sequence starts or the current sequence is ended. The next sequence
starts with the next metadata level being processed. For details see the Rule
Interface.
l Optimize resulting PDF: Select to specify whether the resulting PDF should be
optimized. Optimization can lead to a significant reduction in the size of the PDF, but it
may also add a certain amount of time to the process. This option should only be
unchecked if the timing of the process is critical and needs to be done quickly, but keep in
mind that the resulting PDFmay be much larger than it should be and may even be too
large for PReS Workflow to handle.
l Reset Metadata according to new PDF: Metadata will be recreated according to the
new PDFthat was created, including page numbering, etc.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page771.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be
ignored, and the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file
without any modification. Any initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from
running as a whole, and output tasks will not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to
overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l
Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked.
Lists any process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action:In the initial input tasks, this group is disabled and defaults to Stop Process. In
all other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l Default:By default, the task is ignored as if it did not exist and the error is logged
before continuing the branch or process; the job file is passed on to the next task in
