How to use workflow to make a list (csv) ?

Laserfiche Workflow

Hi,

Is it possible to use workflow to create a list of Laserfiche's file?

Actually we use Laserfiche Client to export a list (see the attachment).

I want to automate the task at the end of each day.

Thank you very much.

Regards

Hi Olivier,

Can you clarify what you want the export to contain--do you want it to map the repo's folder structure, or do you want a report showing metadata for a set of (all?) entries in the repository?

Either way, it's fairly straightforward to write values to a database or spreadsheet.

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your help and sorry for the delay.

What I need is to generate a CSV's file from workflow.

In my CSV, I want to display the results of a search with the metadata.

Actually I found how to create and save results in my CSV, but I don't know how to populate with the metadata.

Please, see the attachment (delete the extension *.txt to change the file to *.wfx)

EDIT:

I finally found how to do.

Thank you very much.

I would setup the workflow to run like this:

Create .csv file --> Search for relevant entries --> For each entry, retrieve field values (you can specify which metadata values you want) and insert those values into the spreadsheet you created.
