Data Directive Auto Print Rules

Hello everyone,

We have ~200 Auto Print rules for Jobs that are triggered by completion of operations and material sequence etc. I have attached an example rule. My question is for anyone that has set up Auto Print rules in E10. What is the most efficient way to create these in the Data Directive. Would one create based on plant, or on printer to have only a couple rules. Or would it be better to create separate rules for each PartNum and create the ~200 data directives. Also if anyone is willing to share some examples of Data Directives they have done to accommodate the rule filters like what I have shared from one rule we have in E9 instance.

If it were me I would be adding a UD field to the Part table, rather than having that many different rules configured. Have one or more UD fields (probably bool) to indicate whether you want a label to print. Then, use the Data Directive to check if this field is true and if so do the print.
