Find Entry on Move- Origination Path

asked on May 3, 2016

In Workflow, I am trying to find the parent ID for the origination folder when an entry is moved. Does anyone have an idea on how to achieve this?

 

Thank you in advance!

You mean for Entry Moved start events? That's not possible. If you're talking about the Move Entry activity, then you'd have the entry, so you can use Find Entry to get info on its parent before you run Move Entry.

Thanks Miruna- Yes, I am referring to Move entry starting events.

what do you mean by "origination folder?"  do you mean "destination folder?"

do you mean the Starting Path?  or are you looking to get the path of where the entry is moved (via Move Entry activity)?

Hello Amy, I am looking for the path that user moved the document from.

If that path is where is originally started from then that token is in the Global tokens list - Entry Path.  There is an activity call Track Tokens (my favorite activity!) - place that within your workflow and you'll be able to see which token has what you're looking for or at least guide you a little better - to let you know what you're really dealing with.  If you don't have any For Each activities, then you can just place it at the end of the WF - otherwise, you have to configure the For Each activity within each For Each branch.  Hope this helps a little.

This works for the Move Entry activity because it all happens in the workflow, but not for starting events. For starting events, we know the current path of the document, not where it came from.
