Moving Approved Files

Post by Penguin »

I'm a true Newbie to programming. I've created a flow that preflights a file then asks the CSR or Customer to approve the job from within the PDF Viewer. After it's approved I want switch to move the file from the Approved folder to a different server using the first 5 digits of the file name to find that folder on the new server and put the file in there. Can anybody help with this?

Thanks in advance,
Very green

I think you may be looking at something like this:

This basically sets the path to the folder you want to copy your files to and then the Submit hiearachy at the end lets you specify the network path to the server.

Submit Hierarchy settings:

Edit: The last two pictures are in the incorrect order, but I'm not able to edit the post to get them in the correct order.

I understand this but I don't understand how to make it use the set hierarchy name to the folder already created. Can you help with this?

thanks,

Our jobs are numbered PXXXXXX and we archive them in three levels, thousands, hundreds and full number.
Lets say the order number is P123456
This means that the first segment is the first four characters of the job name followed by three zeros, ie P123000 which is a thousand level.
The second segment is the first five characters of the job name with two trailing zeros, ie. P123400, which is the hundreds level.
The third segment is the full name, ie. P123456.
This means the hierarchy path will be P123000/P123400/P123456
If you combine this with the path in the Submit hierarchy you end up with the path /Volumes/huvudserver/poffordrar/P123000/P123400/P123456 which is where the files end up.

Thank you both for your help! Like I said I'm a newbie so I'll probably have a lot of questions.

thanks,
Bruce
