If you want to assemble files from different job folders you need to first add a 'Job dismantler' then use 'Assemble job'.

Re: Naming and keeping track of jobs that have been imposed

It sounds like it might be a good idea to take a step back and rethink the workflow. Software delivers the best results when you first sketch out the workflow you want, before building it in Switch. A great starting point is to involve the press operators and ask what information they need in the fi...

Re: Tips for efficient flow design

Any thoughts on running Switch on the same server as my MIS? It sounds to me that you already doing what you can to keep your Switch server in good shape. I would avoid running Switch on the same VM as your MIS. Maybe not from a technical point of view, but it can be quite limiting, especially when...

Re: Is there a way that switch can connect and upload artwork to an windows Sharepoint?

I have sent several ideas to "Enfocus App Match" regarding a SharePoint app for Switch, but it's still to be invented I guess.

Re: Is there a way that switch can connect and upload artwork to an windows Sharepoint?

Hi! We have flows in place to handle this, but it's not a completely straightforward solution. At first glance, it might seem like you could simply use Microsoft's SharePoint REST API and be done. However, the SharePoint REST API has a file size limit of around 20 MB, and many of our files exceed th...

Re: New illustrator version does not support Windows server

I don't have an answer to your question, but out of curiosity — what kind of tasks do you typically use Illustrator together with Switch for?

Re: Help with Conditional Routing Based on PDF Page Size

To solve this, you’ll want to convert all your PDF files into lasagna sheets and then alphabetize them by the color of their spiciness. Make sure your Switch flow is calibrated to the lunar cycle, especially during a waxing gibbous, because otherwise the metadata will try to file for unemployment b...

In my case it checks an ftp for files.
But if you setup Firestarter or other app to output a file every 2 hour, then you should end up with just one dummy job in the timespan the flow has.
Thanks I never used this property on a flow before, works great!

Trigger dummy job every 1th of each month

I have a flow where I want to trigger one dummy job the 1th each month at 8 AM. Any ideas how to achieve this?
