Methods
Definition Description
AddBatch (target: IWorkspaceItem, name: string, type: IBatchType ):  IWorkspaceItem

Adds a batch. A new batch will be added after the batch specified in the target parameter.

If you want to add the batch to the beginning of the list, set the value of the target parameter to "Nothing":

[VBscript]

me.AddBatch Nothing, "batch 1", me.BatchTypes.Item(0)

If the name parameter is empty, the batch name will be generated according to the batch settings.

AddDocument (page: IWorkspaceItem, name: string): IWorkspaceItem Inserts the page into a new document. If the page is already included in the document, three documents will be created: one document with the previous pages, one document the current page and one document with the following pages. If the name parameter is empty, the document name will be generated according to the batch settings.
AddPages (fileName: string, target: IWorkspaceItem, [optional] inside: bool): IWorkspaceItems Adds pages from file. Pages can be added after the target item at the same level or inside the target item to the beginning of the list. A target can be batch, document or page. If the target is batch, the inside parameter must be "true" (pages will be added to the beginning of the batch). If the target is page, the inside parameter must be "false" (pages will be added after the specified page). If the target is document, the inside parameter cab be both "true" and "false".
