Separation by Document Sets v. Sheets

Jobs can be separated by “X” number of sheets, or by various “levels”. But I want to separate by “X” number of Document Sets. Is that possible?

If I specify a number of sheets, will Document Sets potentially be broken or are they always kept together?

(My specific Use Case is Postal “Householding”. Several documents may go to the same address. Using the Job Preset, I sort by and created a Document Set for each unique Address. Using the Output Preset, I created a Folder/Inserter DataMatrix barcode across each Document Set.

We also print a human readable sequence number above the address, and I use the Output Variables for this.

The issue is we want to split the job into about 2500 sheets per output file, but need to maintain the rolling sequence number.)

Separation is currently done on one level. So if you select to separate or split by the number of sheets, there is no guarantee your sets will be kept together unless each set has a predefined number of sheets.

You may split by X number of Groups\Sets in Workflow using the Metadata Sequencer

It’s also possible to come with a logic via scripting (in Workflow) which splits by a maximum number of X sheets while preventing pages of the same set to be split between different groups.
