Package Manager dialog box

The Package Manager is used to manage which documents are contained in a package. Package is an Output Manager concept used to group documents together for the purpose of routing to a destination as a group, running ad hoc rules on the group, and so forth. By default, each document arriving in Output Manager will be the only document in its own package bearing the same name as the document.

For more information, see Managing documents.

You can use the Package Manager to move documents from one package to another, remove documents from a package to be in a separate package, and create new packages.

To open the Package Manager, in the Documents list select one or more documents, right-click and click Package Management. Only the packages associated with the selected documents will be available for management. For example, if you select 10 documents that were just spooled into Output Manager, and open the Package Manager, you will be managing 10 packages. Likewise, if you select 10 documents, and 5 out of the 10 are already associated with the same package, and the remaining are single document packages, the utility will be managing 6 packages.
