Developing a Control File

A control file defines an application's input, output, and global actions (actions that you take on every document). It defines the overall print stream processing environment. Each EngageOne™ Enrichment application requires one control file.

Key options configured in the control file include:
  • Input file characteristics (such as type, field locations, and page and document break indicators)
  • Rule file characteristics
  • Added object size, content, and placement
  • Information to control addition of pages
  • Parameters for CASS Certified™ address cleansing
  • Parameters for postal Presort processing
  • Control information (such as supplemental data files, rule files, and inserts)
  • Output file characteristics (such as name, separation requirements, and convenience break parameters)
  • Performance options
