Optimal design for large number of input/output types

I’m sorry if this has been asked before, I searched and didn’t find what I’m looking for.

I have approximately 120 different documents which need to be processed through Planet Press. They are received as text files (single document per text time) from a capture folder. The data is then mapped and inserted into templates and printed or saved to PDF. What is the best way to handle all the different document types? Do I have 120 different branches off a single capture folder for each document? Do I try to group them and have a few template that will service multiple document types each. Unfortunately each document is unique and not just a matter of showing or hiding content, grouping them into templates could be messy and not intuitive for future users but having 120 different branches doesn’t seem fun to manage either.

Thanks
Bruce

Hi Bruce, and welcome to the community!

To answer your question, I will refer you to our latest blog article which happens to touch on that very subject (you can scroll directly to the last item in the article, but I recommend you read it all anyway, it’s not a long read).
