Add partial job name to hierarchy information

This example flow uses a script element  to add part of the job's name to the hierarchy information for the job.

This flow is compatible with: PowerSWITCH.

Information

The script used in this flow allows you to set which characters you want to remember and use to create an extra level in the hierarchy structure. In this example flow the property "First character to remember" is set to 1 and "Last character to remember" is set to 3.

This means that for each file, the script element will read the first 3 characters of the job name and add these to the hierarchy information in the job ticket of that job. The three first characters of a job will be added as an extra level in the hierarchy information.

Once the hierarchy information has been adapted in the respective job ticket, the Archive hierarchy tool can be used to create the folder structure conform to what is stored in the job ticket. All jobs will be stored in the folder with the same name as the first 3 characters of the job name.
