Documents retrieved from repository or defined by document trigger

Document sorting and bundling can be applied to documents retrieved from a document repository as well as to page formatted output documents from standard runtime jobs.

Documents retrieved from document repository

Output documents can be stored in a document repository, and then be retrieved using a post-processor and queries (DBQs or PPQs). All document sorting and bundling features are enabled by default, and can be applied to the documents retrieved from the document repository (via the post-processor).

Metadata is associated with the documents stored in the document repository. When sorting and enveloping documents retrieved from a document repository, metadata is used as keys.

For information about the required preparations, see the Document Broker Plus User Guide.

Documents not retrieved from document repository

Document sorting and bundling features can be applied to page formatted output documents from standard runtime jobs. In this case you must create a Document Trigger (i.e. define what to include in each document), enable document and sorting on the output connector, and add a document type resource to the output connector.

The document type includes metadata associated with the documents. When sorting and enveloping documents, metadata is used as keys. To be used as a key, a metadata must be enabled in the Post-processing context.
