JobCreationPresets
AJob Creation Presetisafilethatcontainssettingsforthecreationofaprintjob.Itisusedafteratem-
platehasbeenmergedwithdata,butbeforetheactualprintoutputfileisproduced.Mergingatemplate
withdataresultsinasetofprint content items.BasedonthesettingsinaJobCreationPreset,the
Connectservercantakeanumberofactionsonasetofprintcontentitems.Theactionsaredescribed
below.
Inaddition,runtime parameterscanbedefinedinaJobCreationPreset.Filledwithavalueat
runtime,thesecanbeusedforcomparisonsagainstconditionswithintheJobCreation,orinexternal
sortingprograms.
SelectFile > Print Presets > Job Creation Settings...torunthe"JobCreationPresetsWizard"on
page612.
Note: TheJobCreationoptionsarealsoavailableintheAdvancedPrinterWizard,which
appearswhenyouselectFile > Print(orProof Print)andclicktheAdvancedbutton.However,
theAdvancedPrinterWizardcannotsaveyoursettingstofileforre-use.
Filter and sort
Whilecreatingaprintjob,theConnectservercanfilteroutcertainprintcontentitemsbasedonthecon-
ditionsdefinedinaJobCreationPreset(see"Datafilteringoptions"onpage616).
Theconditionsareevaluatedperrecordandcanbebaseduponsuchdiversecriteriaasthevalueof
datafields,thevalueofruntimeparameters(see"RuntimeParameterOptions"onpage614),thebind-
ingoptionsusedinasourcedocument,oritssize.
Notethattheoverridingfinishingoptions,whichcanalsobedefinedinaJobCreationPreset,arenot
takenintoaccountwhilefiltering.First,thesourcedocumentsarefiltered.Anyoverridingfinishing
optionsareappliedatalaterstage.
Theremainingitemscanbesorted,eitherbytheConnectServer,basedondatafields,orbysome
externalsortingsoftware(see"Sortingoptions"onpage620).
Tip: Externalsortingbenefitsconsiderablyfromruntimeparameters,definedintheJobCreation
Preset(see"RuntimeParameterOptions"onpage614).
Grouping
Whilecreatingaprintjob,theConnectServercangroupPrintcontentitemsintoJobs,JobSegments
andDocumentSets(see"Groupingoptions"onpage623).
Thisallowstoorganizecontentinacertainway,forinstance,togatherallforeignmailpiecesintoone
jobsegment,ortocomminglemultiplesetsofPrintcontentitemsinonejob.
