CMIS Folder Reference

Represents a reference to a folder within a CMIS Repository.

Remarks

The CMIS Folder Reference object is used to identify and interact with a specific folder in an external CMIS Repository. This reference enables Grooper to browse, select, and operate on folders for import, export, or integration scenarios.

Purpose and Usage

• Used to select a target folder for storing or retrieving documents in a CMIS-compliant repository.
• Stores key information about the folder, such as its unique identifier and path within the repository.
• Enables configuration of import/export definitions, automation steps, or user-driven folder selection.

Configuration Guidance

• Use the folder browser UI to select the desired folder from the connected CMIS Repository.
• The folder's path is displayed for easy identification and navigation.
• If the folder structure changes in the external system, update the reference to ensure continued compatibility.

Best Practices

• Choose folders that match your business requirements for document storage, organization, or retrieval.
• Use descriptive folder names and paths to clarify their role in your integration.
• Regularly review and update folder references if the external repository structure is modified.

Example Scenarios

• Exporting documents from Grooper to a specific folder in a CMIS-based document management system.
• Importing documents from a designated folder in a CMIS Repository into Grooper for processing.
• Automating workflows that require dynamic selection or validation of folder locations.
