This activity helps the user to access directory information for applications or files within a machine. It helps retrieve the path of a targeted folder for further action.

Properties

INPUT

SystemFolder:* This parameter displays the list of directories available in the system folder. You can choose the drop-down to get the special directory. By default, “Desktop” will be selected.

OverWrite: Check this box if you want to overwrite a file, if it is already available in the path that you have chosen. By default, it is unchecked. This means if the zipped file which we are trying to save to location is already available there, it wouldn’t get saved in that location.

To:* Specify the file path to where the selected file needs to be pasted. You can also select the file manually by selecting the three dots adjacent to the activity. This accepts only “String” datatype.

MISC

SkipOnError: Specify the “Boolean” value as “True” or “False.”
True: Continue executing the workflow regardless of any errors thrown.
False: Halt the workflow if it encounters any errors.
None: If the option is left blank, the activity will, by default, behave as if “False” were chosen.

Version: It indicates the version of the feature being used.

OUTPUT

Path:* A variable declared here is used to store information about the special directory. It is stored in the “String” data type.
