Move Folder Smart Service

Overview

The Move Folder node allows you to select a folder and move it to a new Knowledge Center or folder (which must already exist). Only a System Administrator or Knowledge Center Administrator is able to move it. A folder cannot be moved in to a folder that is a descendant of itself.

This node can only be executed with the appropriate user rights. Attempting to complete this task without sufficient rights generates an error message for the Process Administrator and pauses the process.

Configuration options

This section contains tab configuration details specific to this smart service. For more information about common configurations see the Process Node Properties page.

Data tab

This tab displays all the Node Inputs and Node Outputs for the Service Node. You can add additional inputs and outputs, if needed.

Node inputs

The default inputs are:

Input Data Type Required Multiple
Folder Folder Yes No
Destination Folder Folder No No
Destination KC Knowledge Center No No

If the node is run without being assigned to a user (or a group) you must specify values for each of the Node Inputs listed in the table above. You can either manually enter data into the text-field, or a value can be generated using the using the Expression Editor. When using the Expression Editor, you can reference and modify Process Variables, rules, constants, and other data. The expressions then specify your Node Input values.

If the node is assigned, the Node Input values are typed by your assigned user(s) into a form.
