Barcode - group by

OL Connect Professional Designer

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way for the barcode to group a set of documents by account number or address (all letters with the same address will be one document set)

Thank you
Jasmine

Hello Jasmine,

Given the provided information I expect the Grouping and Separation features to be what you’re looking for. This feature will provide the oppertunity to:

  1. Group records on Document Set level on the Job Preset side based on the value of a given record field
  2. Do a separation on Document Set level on the Output Preset side

Hello Marten,

Thank you for that information. Would the separation mean that there would be individual files for each different address? As it was preferred that the files contain 1000 sheets each

Thank you
Jasmine

When you group records on Document Set level based on the record field address and do a separation on Document Set level then, yes, this is correct.

It is possible to do a separation on Sheet count but then the above won’t be applied.

Hi Marten,

Thank you — I’ve been able to group the file by address.

The issue I’m having now is with the barcode. This is the text I’m currently using:
${document.sequence.set,00}${set.count.pages-1,00}${(document.sequence.job-1)%1000,000}
with the condition page.nr == 1.

The total number of pages in the set never matches the document page count within the set, so the envelope machine errors when it starts scanning a new set, as it thinks the first set was never completed.

The document is double-sided (not sure if that’s relevant, but mentioning just in case).

Thank you,
