Assigning the Batch Splitting rule to the Close element of the batch

The SplitBatch action must run at the batch level. But it depends on the status of the Split variable that in this case is created by a page-level rule in the same ruleset.

About this task

In an earlier section that describes the order of rule execution, you learned that batch-level rules typically run before page-level rules. (See Order of rule execution.) However, you also saw how you can attach a rule to the Close element. The rule runs after Datacap finished processing all lower-level objects.

Procedure

To assign the Batch Splitting rule to the Close element of the batch:

  1. In the Document Hierarchy pane, click Lock DCO for editing.
  2. Expand the document hierarchy so you can see the Close element of the batch.
  3. Select the Close element of the batch.
  4. In the Rulesets pane, select the Batch Splitting rule and click Add to DCO.
  5. In the Document Hierarchy pane, click Save and then click Unlock DCO.
