Applying rules to document definitions

In a batch scenario, rules determine which document definitions to include in an Ad Hoc document. If a document definition is exclusively intended for creating new Ad Hoc documents (the on-demand scenario), no rule is required.

One paginated document can contain several document definitions

When the rules for more than one document definition are evaluated as true, the Ad Hoc document will contain several document definitions.

Notes

•	Document definitions based on different Process types, e.g. StoryTeller and Template Engine, cannot be mixed in the same Ad Hoc document.

•	Unpaginated documents may only contain one document definition.

Prerequisites for documents with several document definitions

•	In Design Center, output mode Job is used for the output connector.

•	In Composition Center, process type Batch and Ad Hoc is selected for the document definition.

•	To set rules on document definitions, you must have full access rights to Composition Center.
