spRenameFolder Step

Description:

This step renames a SharePoint folder.

 

Inputs

  • BaseURL – Base URL for your SharePoint site
  • selOAuthProvider  - select OAuth Provider 
  • folderPath –Path of the folder to be renamed
  • renamedTo – Rename folder to 
  • resultJson – Store result in Variable or Global 
 

 

Returns

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

 

Usage:

 

 

To use this step, SharePoint should be configured using Flowwright OAuth connections.

 

A sample Sharepoint oAuth configuration is included here for reference.

 

Example:

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

  • Create a new definition called “spRenameFolderDef” and open the definition in designer mode. 
  • Drag a “spRenameFolder” step to the canvas.
  • Connect the dots between the “Start” and “spRenameFolder” steps, as shown above. 
  • Define a variable or a global to store the file path and the result after execution.
  • Click the "spRenameFolder" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a base URL for your SharePoint site. Select the SharePoint OAuth provider from the dropdown list. Provide the folder path to be renamed and the new name. Provide a variable or a global reference to store the result. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • 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 instance, and then execute it. Render the process instance. The process step should rename the folder on the SharePoint site as configured.

 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import them (drag-and-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.
