Connect 1.7.1 Output Enhancements and Fixes
Grouping With and Without Sorting
Sometimes the data used for generating documents is already pre-sorted, but you may still
need to group documents into sets or segments. In those cases, the grouping process should
not reorder the documents. This has now been implemented in PrintShop Mail Connect 1.7.1.
Consider the following example: data has been pre-sorted for postal sorting, which means that
documents for the same customer will also be in consecutive order in the job (assuming a
customer has a single postal address). If we want documents for the same customer to go into
the same job, we can use grouping to create document sets and we might use the customer
number for this grouping. When the customer number changes, we want a new document set to
begin. If grouping by customer number also sorts by customer number, our pre-sorted order will
get messed up.
The Job Creation settings have been improved to allow this kind of grouping. Sorting
ascending, descending or not sorting at all can be set per field used for grouping. (SHARED-
