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 a Print process built with separate plugins, the Job Creation task comes between Content
Creation and Output Creation. With the All In One, Job Creation is implied and equivalent to a
single created job; it isn't possible to use a Job Preset.
Tip
If you do need to use a Job Preset, set the All-In-One’s Output Creation options to None. Add the
Job Creation and Output Creation tasks to the process after the All-In-One.
This task can be added as an Action task (see "Action Tasks" on page264) or as an Output
task. Adding it as an Action task enables the process or branch to continue after this task. An
Output task is always located at the end of a process or branch.
Note
When added as an Output task, the All In One plugin works asynchronously to the Workflow
process.
Properties
The All In One task properties are as follows:
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 Metadata. 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:
