Grouping Options
The Grouping options page separates the job output into multiple blocks that can then be physically separated using split sheets in the printer.
- Grouping Tabs: Jobs can be grouped at three different levels. The three groups each have their own tab, and are as follows:
- Job Grouping Fields
- Job Segment Grouping Fields
- Document Set Grouping Fields
The Fields available to be used for any Grouping are contained within the Available Fields box.
Any Fields that you want to use for Grouping need to be added to the Selected Fields box via the arrows found between the two boxes.
Simply select the Field(s) you want to move and then click the appropriate arrow.
Any fields that you decide don't need to be used in Grouping can be returned to the Available Fields box in the same fashion.
Once a field is added to the Available Fields box, its Sorting Option can be selected by clicking in the "Sorting Option" column, and selecting the appropriate option. The selections allow for a choice of Ascending or Descending order, or to have the field Unsorted.
- Page Break Grouping: Check this check box to enable page break grouping, which separates Documents into different groups, based on the number of pages they contain. For example, enabling the Document Set Grouping Level and creating a page range from 1-5 and 6 to Largest, will create two Document Set groups. The first will contain all Documents of 1 to 5 pages length, the second will contain any document of 6 or more pages.
- Grouping Level: Use the drop-down to select which grouping level to use, between Job, Job Segment or Document Set. Only one grouping level can be selected.
- Grouping list: Add
(or remove 
) entries to this list to create new groups based upon the number of pages in the level selected above. All groups must be contiguous from 1-to-Largest and they must not contain any gaps. - Range Name: Enter a name identifying the range. It must be unique, but otherwise bears no impact on the range feature.
- From: Enter the starting page number of the range. The first range must start with 1, all other ranges must be contiguous (the "From" range must be one higher than the previous "To" value).
- To: Enter the last page number for the range. The last range must end with a selection of "Largest".
- Generate page break ranges in reverse order checkbox: Reverses the order of the groups created.
By default, grouping is done from smallest to largest. Checking this option instead creates groups from largest to smallest. - Generate page break range groups after normal grouping checkbox: Check this option to firstly group using the selections made above and then secondly group upon page break grouping. This creates two different levels of grouping, applied in order.
- Page break range meta data field name edit box: Select a name for the meta data field that is created when Page Break Grouping is selected. This meta data field can then be used in other expressions, such as in the Job Output Mask Dialog .
Page Break Grouping works only on Document page counts.
