Document, Pages, Sets Counts in Workflow

What is the status of being able to get accurate “counts” in Workflow? How many Documents in a Job, how many pages in a Job, how many Documents / Pages in a Document Set and/or Job Segment, etc?

My current need is for a process that Executes a Data Map, Creates Print Content, and then on one branch, Create Job and Create Output where the Job is a filtered subset of the total, same on another branch. Basically we have a “Print Branch” and a “No-Print Branch” and I want to be able to know (and print on a cover page) the number of Documents in each “batch”.

Currently if I have 10 documents, 8 of which print and 2 which do not, I can’t get the “8” or the “2” out of metadata. The metadata document count is always 10 even if only 2 are in the job.

You can add banner pages to output in connect 2023.1 onwards, so if each branch has its own Connect banner page this could resolve your issue. There is more information on banner pages in the Banner pages in OL Connect article on the OL Blog.

Hope this helps
