Folder Manipulator

The Folder Manipulator allows you to replace or remove a folder path and update any content or binaries to live under the new folder path.

Properties

Property	Purpose	Required
folderPath	The folder path to replace or remove	True
newFolderPath	The new folder path to use. Do not provide a value to remove the specified folder path.	False
folderPathAsRegex	Determines if the folderPath value should be used as regex.	False

Specifics

This manipulator adjusts both the Folder Motation object and Content Motation objects.

How to use

Set the folderPath property to a folder path that should either be replaced or removed.

The contentType and fieldName options are not necessary for this manipulator. If using the UI a whitespace can be used for these values.

remove a folder path

To remove a folder path, do not set a value for newFolderPath. If no value is provided for the property, the specified folder path will be removed. Any content or binary that would have used the removed folder path will instead be updated to the folder path / (root folder).

Multiple folders

Often a folder path will consist of multiple folders, not just one. Depending on the connector, these may be separate folders/folder paths which would require a separate folder manipulator. As a result, multiple folder manipulators may be required to achieve the desired result. i.e, Only the last folder in a path should be used and all other folders should be removed.

Check a connectors documentation for additional details.
