Description |
General |
Provider |
Type: Separation Provider
Defines the type of separation to be performed. Can be one of the following values:
- Change in Value Separation - A new folder is created each time the extracted value changes.
- Control Sheet Separation - Separate the batch using Grooper Control Sheets.
- EPI Separation - Performs Separation using embedded page information (EPI). The Provided Extractor should be a Data Type which returns a 1-based integer page
number. When this binding method is in use, Grooper applies the following logic: 1) If the page number is 1, create a new folder. 2) If the page number
is greater than 1, it will be applied to the current folder only if it is in sequence with the last recorded page number. If the page is out of sequence, it will
be left as a loose page.
- ESP Auto Separation - Performs separation using ESP™ automatic separation.
- Event-Based Separation - Separate the batch based on Separation Events. Separation events can separate based on patch codes, barcodes, blank pages, detected shapes, or page content types.
- Multi Separator - Performs separation using multiple separation providers.
- Pattern-Based Separation - A new folder will be created if the extractor produces any results on the page.
- Undo Separation - Flattens a Batch Folder by recursively removing all children Batch Folders, leaving only loose pages.
