Can moving a document into a different folder trigger a Scenario?

Quick question: Can a Fusion scenario be triggered if a document is moved from one folder to another? I'm assuming the answer is "no." I've tried a few different ways to get a Scenario to trigger when a document's folder changes...none have worked. 

Right now, I'm trying to get around this by utilizing a timed scenario which checks for dox with specific parameters. The Scenario runs every five minutes. If it finds a document which falls within those filters, it adds the document GUID to a data store. The scenario whenever a new document is uploaded adds the new document's GUID to the data store, and reads the other GUIDs as well. It then processes all the dox mentioned on the data store, wiping them all post-execution.

TBH, that feels like an advanced game of Mouse Trap and would love to be shown a different way. Am I correct in thinking that the change doesn't register because folders are related collection to dox and not actual fields or parameterValues?

we have similar need - to identify docs that have been moved between the folders.

We do this by document search module that runs on a schedule (every 1min in our case)

So I guess answer is no, but the workaround you're applying is a logical solution

Thanks for validating what I assumed. It's irksome but eh. What can you do.

 

I am curious though: How do you schedule a scenario to trigger every minute? The minimum is five, unless I don't know a secret...which is entirely likely.

no magic here, really. That's available straight in the scheduling menu:

1 is minimal value
