A Folder Mapping Job is a Master Job that will create child sub jobs for every folder contained in the selected source. For example if I have selected a folder as my source that contains 3 folders within it, the Folder Mapping job will create 1 child job for each of those folders. Additionally as new folders are created in the source, additional child jobs will be created for them automatically. 

Folder Mapping is an advanced feature and may not be available to you depending on your license. If you would like to use Folder Mapping and it is not available please contact Client Services.

Creating a Folder Mapping Job (Basics no advanced options)

1) In the Job Control section hit the "New Job" button and select "New Folder Mapping".

2) Select a Source Connector and a root folder, this root folder can be several layers deep. 

3) Select a Destination Connector and destination folder.

4) Select a Job Type which all of the child jobs will have.

5) Ensure that your Conflict Resolution and Delete Propagation are set properly.

6) Hit OK.


Advanced Options 

Like all jobs clicking the blue "Advanced" will open up additional options depending on the selected connectors. It is important to keep in mind that any advanced feature utilized will be used by every child job created. This is important if you only want some features to be used on some of the folders used to create the child jobs. 

Convention Exclusions

The "Convention Exclusions" option is specific to Master jobs and will be there regardless of the connectors used. In order to utilize this you will need to click on "Exclusions", which will list all of the folders available in the source selected. Once you have done this you will want to select either "include selected" or "exclude selected", as this will determine how the folders will be treated.

Include Selected, means that only the folders selected will have child jobs created for them. Additionally if new folders are created new child jobs will not be created for them. 

Excluded Selected means that child jobs will not be created for the folders selected, however new folders created will still have child jobs created for them.

Import/Export to .CSV File

Import selection from .CSV File and Export Selected to .CSV file allow you to make your folder selections without having manually make the selections by checking the boxes. This is useful when there are hundreds or thousands of folders that need to be selected.
