Move entries within subfolder or each individual employee folder

asked on October 10, 2018

Hello, I'm looking to find entries in a subfolder that every employee folder has, so those entries can be moved. I want to ignore every other file / subfolder in the Employee folder. The employee folders are all dynamically named by the employee, so the structure is -

 

repo\EmployeeA\LookHere

repo\EmployeeB\LookHere

etc.

 

Is there a way to declare an absolute path for a search and use a variable for the employee folder name, or am I looking at this the wrong way?

Yes, you can do this. All you need is to make sure that you have access to the name of the desired employee in the same format that was used to create the folder, and place it in a token.

If you need to get all of the documents in that folder you can use the Find Entries activity. If you need to be more selective, you can use Search Repository.

Then you just need to feed the selected activity a path that includes the employee name token.

repo\%(employee_name)\lookhere

Workflow will then piece together the full path when it executes.
