Moving Files From Multiple Projects To One New Project

Avatar

Level 4

Hello,

 

I am looking for a way to download files from multiple projects and to copy those files to a new project. My Custom API call/filters successfully work to pull the correct files into the bundles but what I am having trouble with is how to handle the bundles/operations after the API call. After filtering my iterator I am left with multiple Operations when I only need one(?)

 

When I attempt to build a project after running the API call, it creates a project for each operation when I only need one project created to house all of the files I called on.

Here you can see only one operation pre-filter but after there displays two.

 

Screen of the entire scenario just in case:

How can I move this scenario along so that I only get one resulting project with the Create A Record module. Also, how can I move all of the files I called on with the API to copy to the newly created project?

 

Thanks in advance!

Wow Then I completely misunderstood your question sorry. 

So you'll want to check if you have files, then create a single project where all the source files go.

Hi @Eric_D_Miller 
Take a look, here's how I would approach this. You get a list of all docs in the projects you're interested in, and then down-/upload each.

Hi Sven,

 

How would I go about filtering for documents that are in folders with a specific name? I could accomplish this with a docfdr/search but am unsure how to go about getting that filter applied in a proj/search.

Hi Eric,
Then it would look like this:

Note the API is limited to traversing 4 levels, so you can only go to parent:parent:parent:parent:name - in other words up to 5 levels of folders

Sven,

 

So far so good, I appreciate the help you've given. I am now back at my original issue, where as, after downloading my documents I want to create a new project to store them.

 

When I use the create record module I am given a project for every file where as I only need one project to house the files. How do you go about taking all of the files/operations and process them all as one "operation" when it gets to the project creation?
