enabling print sections by output

I am not sure if this is possible but I figured I would throw it out there.

Here is the scenario:

  1. A template that has multiple print sections
    Lets say sections 1 thru 5

  2. Some print sections are enabled or disabled by values in the data
    Sections 1 thru 4

  3. A workflow using this template has multiple outputs - output printer A and output printer B

Is there a way (maybe using a variable in the workflow) that some print sections will be enabled if going to output printer A (say 1 thru 4) and the other print sections are only enabled for output printer B (section 5)?

Thanks!

Hi,

You would not need to filter sections if your data has a field that makes the sections enable/disable when processed. (using a control script) You just make a Job Preset and filter those pages out based on the field. Then send them to whatever printer using a Create Output as Output with the correct LPR settings.

Thanks! I am not sure how I would enable or disable print sections using a job preset. I looked thru the options and also in the documentation and I am not seeing how that is accomplished.

You would have a control script in the template that disables/enables the sections based on the field you mentioned before. Then using a preset you filter out records based on that field. Connect will then only output sections that are enabled by that field.

When I get the time I will make a test template/preset/workflow and send it to you. Kinda busy right now.
