Applying custom commands to a folder type

Custom commands you define in Configurator can be applied to folder types just as they can be applied to document types. This makes running processes on the entire contents of a folder faster and easier than having to first select all the documents in a folder and then run the command on the resulting selection. Custom commands can also act upon the custom properties assigned to folder types.

Before you begin

The commands that you want to apply to a folder type must already exist in the vault configuration. For more information on creating custom commands, see Creating and editing custom commands.

To apply a custom command to a folder type:

1. In Configurator, expand Folder Types in the configuration tree and select the folder type that you want to edit. Its property pages appear in the right pane.
2. Click the Commands tab to display the current command assignments.
3. Click the Edit button to modify the assignments.
4. Select the commands to display on the Folder shortcut menu.
5. Click the OK button to save your changes.
