BoxRenameFolder Step

Description:

This step renames an existing folder in the Box site.

 

Inputs

  • selOAuthProvider - Select OAuth provider
  • folderPath - Path/FolderID of the folder to be renamed
  • renamedTo - Rename folder to
  • resultJson - 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 the FlowWright application. Then, navigate to the Integrate—Connections—oAuth page to create a new oAuth source. 

 

A sample oAuth configuration is shown as the reference here. 

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “BoxRenameFolderDef” example.

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

 

  • 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 rename the folder in the box. 

 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition from the link here and later import it (drag-drop) to your FlowWright Process (XML) and Form Definition (HTML) page. After import, you will need to verify the process steps and complete the database configuration, if any.
