Rename Folder
Description
The Rename Folder activity changes the name of an existing folder in IB Drive.
The folder remains in its current location, and its files and subfolders remain unchanged after the rename operation.
Common settings
Use Process Data to bind supported inputs to workflow values or upstream outputs. See Common Activity Features for shared execution, error-handling, and output-persistence settings. Availability depends on the activity.
Design-Time Configuration
Display Text
Specifies a user-defined name for the activity.
The display text appears on the workflow canvas and can be used to identify the purpose of the activity.
Folder
Specifies the IB Drive folder to be renamed.
The folder can be specified using one of the following methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Select Directory | Select the folder by browsing IB Drive using the folder picker. |
| By Id | Specify the unique IB Drive item ID of the folder. This is the default method. |
| By Path | Specify the logical path of the folder within IB Drive, for example /Agents/InvoiceProcessing/Input. |
The value can also be provided dynamically using workflow data.
This property is required.
New Name
Specifies the new name for the folder.
The value can also be provided dynamically using workflow data.
This property is required.
IB Drive folder names:
- Can contain up to 255 characters.
- Cannot contain
\ / : * ? " < > |. - Cannot start or end with a space or period.
- Are case-insensitive within the same parent folder.
If another folder with the specified name already exists in the same parent folder, the activity fails with an error.
The activity does not merge with or overwrite the existing folder, nor does it automatically generate a different name.
Execution settings
Configure Wait All Incoming when execution paths converge, and On Error for failure handling. Select Inherit where available to use the workflow-level error policy.
Outputs
Folder
Returns an IB-X Folder Reference for the renamed folder. Bind the whole output to a compatible reference input, or use Id with an IB Drive By Id selector.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Id | The unique identifier (GUID) of the renamed folder. |
| Name | The new name of the folder. |
| Location | The logical path of the renamed folder within IB Drive. |
| ParentId | The unique identifier (GUID) of the parent folder containing the renamed folder. |
| Size | The size associated with the folder. For folders, this is typically 0. |
| MimeType | The content type associated with the folder, if applicable. |
| Created | The UTC date and time when the folder was originally created in IB Drive. |
| Modified | The UTC date and time when the folder was last modified. |
The returned folder metadata can be used by downstream activities to perform additional operations on the renamed folder.
Remarks
Use the returned reference for subsequent operations on the resulting item. IB Drive paths are logical library paths, not physical paths on the workflow host. The conflict and naming rules above apply when the activity executes.
