BoxCreateFolder Step

Description:

This step creates a box folder on the cloud. 

 

Inputs

  • destinationFilePath– Path of the Box application where the new folder is created
  • varToStoreResult- Variable to store the result
 

 

Returns

  • True – step executed successfully 
  • False – step failed to execute
 

 

Usage:

 

 

To use this step, you must configure Dropbox in FlowWright application. Navigate to Integrate - Connections - oAuth page to create a new oAuth source. 

 

A sample oAuth configuration is shown as a reference here. 

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the BoxCreateFolderDef example. 

  • Create a new definition called “BoxCreateFolderDef”
  • Select the definition and click the “design” button
  • Drag a “BoxCreateFolder” step from the toolbox
  • Connect the dots between the start and “BoxCreateFolder” step
  • Define a variable/global to store the result after execution
  • Click the "BoxCreateFolder" step to configure its "Settings" properties. Provide a name to the step. Select the “Box” oAuth connection provider. Provide the path to create a folder. Provide a variable/global to store the result after execution. 

 

  • Click the "BoxCreateFolder" step to configure its "Advanced" properties. Provide the parent folder ID. 

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new process instance, and execute. Render the process instance. Click on the process step to view the properties. The step should create a new directory in the box. 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import it (drag-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.

NOTE: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
