Hey all. I need to be able to move a file as part of a workflow transition to a new folder - basically for when a controlled document is recinded from a released state, I want to move it from the main document repository to a rescinded folder that our CM folk only have the ability to view.
I believe that to move a file using a workflow transition would require creating an add-in or perhaps a dispatch script then using that as a transition action. There is not a built-in way for a transition by itself to move a file to a different location.
A better approach would be to have the destination state set permissions that would prevent unauthorized users from viewing the file. That way you could control visibility without having to actually move the file.
I did just that, and it worked famously. Thanks!
The only way would be with a custom addin, but why move a file to another folder just to change permissions? You can set permissions by what workflow state the file is in.
