LIST OF FOLDERS

Category: Create / Generate

Description

This action creates a table with a list of folders in the specified folder.

Such a table can be used later for iterations, folder commands, or file commands.

Setting	Description
Folder^*	The folder to extract the list of direct subfolders from.
Columns	Provides options to select the types of data to return as fields in the dataset. See below.
Subfolders	Provides options to scan through subfolders within the chosen folder. See below.

^* Setting can be specified using a parameter.

These options define the columns that will be included in the generated dataset. At least one option must be selected.

Option	Description
Folder name with pull path	Returns the fully-qualified folder name including absolute path. Default.
Folder name only	Returns the folder name only, excluding path.
Date created	The date the folder was first created.
Date modified	The date the folder was last changed or updated.
Read-only	Returns a "true"/"false" value signifying whether the folder is flagged as read-only (TRUE) or read-write (FALSE).

Option	Description
Scan subfolders	When selected, additional options are presented to define the scan depth and scan error handling.
Scanning depth	The number of subfolder levels, under the parent folder, the action will scan within. e.g. "1" will scan through the subfolders found directly under the parent folder only; "2" will scan through the subfolders of the subfolders (i.e. 2 levels deep) found under the parent folder.
Ignore scan errors	Select to ignore any errors produced when scanning subfolders for files. This is useful for avoiding errors when scanning folder depths that may not exist in all subfolders.
