The Production task dialog: Separate settings

ClosedTo access this dialog:

  1. On the Configuration tab of the Administration module, select Solutions and expand a solution.

  2. Select Production tasks.

  3. In the right pane, double-click a production task.

  4. Make sure that Sort is selected in the Activities selection settings.

  5. Select Activities > Sort > Separate.

Use these settings to specify how documents are separated in the Sort activity:

Strategy

Use page classifiers to find document separations (slow)

Selected by default. Uses page classifiers defined on the first and last pages of a document specification to find document breaks. Typically used to separate varied material, for example in a mailroom.

Require similarity between pages in same document

Requires pages within a document to have similarities regarding layout, logotypes and/or field data. (To treat unclassified pages as appendices if they follow a document that may have appendices, select only this strategy.)

Compare headers and logotypes (fast)

Finds page breaks by comparing layouts or logotypes. Assumes that all pages within a document have similar layouts and logotypes. Typically used to separate multi-page invoices.

Compare capture field output (slow)

Separates documents by comparing field data within documents. This is often selected in order to use an invoice number (or order number) to separate multi-page invoices when they are received as one document.

Make a new document for each page (fast)

Separates documents by making every page a separate document. Typically used to separate single-paged documents.

Make a new document after each blank sheet

Creates a document break after every blank page. Requires manual insertion of blank pages into the input stream. Typically used when the other options available are insufficient. (These blank pages are deleted automatically before output.)

Confirmation

No manual confirmation of document separations

Allows the program to automatically separate all documents.

Confirm uncertain separations only

Selected by default. Requires manual confirmation of documents not separated with a high degree of confidence.

Confirm each separation

Requires operators to manually confirm all document separations in the Inspect activity.

ClosedCombining document separation methods

It is possible to combine several separation methods for handling complex material. Selecting both Use page classifiers to find document separations and Make a new document after each blank page could be a useful combination, only requiring the user to insert blank pages after hard-to-identify documents, while allowing the program to automatically classify the remaining documents.

Typically used to separate complex mixed material, for example, in a mailroom.

Only Make a new document for each page cannot be combined with other options.
