Folder

A series can be based on a list of files in the filesystem or repository using the Folder series. The configuration dialog offers the following options

• Folder Path: the directory to list the files of. Subdirectories will not be included.
• Filter for Filenames: an optional filtering pattern (default *.*) can be set. Multiple asterisks * can be used for unknown parts. The filtering will be applied to filenames only.
  • use *.pdf for all PDF files
  • use *.rpt for all Report files

Note: Filesystem and Repository are only available as allowed by the user's system and file/directory permissions. The Server Administration permission is required for file system access.

This Folder series provides the {filepath} placeholder. It will be available in all input fields of jobs and actions that support placeholders. It will translate into the absolute path of the file.
