Question

Dynamic Field list of child folders

Laserfiche Administration

asked on October 16, 2015

I'm brainstorming a solution where a scanning user has a field with a list of child folders from the scan session's folder path.

My first thought was to use the Parent ID token to look up child folders in a dynamic field. The problem is tokens don't resolve until you store the document to the repository (right?)

How would you approach this problem?

You can create a dynamic folder structure given you pull the data from the metadata from the template that the user is scanning with. You can use these tokens from the field that that is placed the default settings for scanning. The tokens are accessible by clicking on the carrot next to the folder area that you are going to store to under settings.

Those are the names of the fields in the template. I didn't know I could do that. Good to know but not what I need in this case.

In this case I'm looking for a way to generate a list field of the names of folders in the current scan target folder. This list field would be helpful for several users who have already manually established a folder structure for themselves. Then I can transition them into using workflow for automatic filing and naming.
