The folder is provided as a variable on the data->outputs tab.
Hi Stefan,
I am getting folder name when i am using the target in the output.
Is there any possible to get the folder id?
Thanks for the reply..
This is the folder id. Behind the scenes Appian stores a folder always as its ID. Then it displays it to you using the name. This is fine, just use it for whatever you planned.
Thanks Stefan..
I have tried. But i need the folder id which in the attached image.
The use a tointeger() on that process variable. Or take the document() function to the the "id" attribute. Do not get confused by the the fact that this function expects a number as input. As I said, Appian internally only stores the number and will pass this number to the parameter.
May I ask why you absolutely need that number?
Now i got the Folder ID with using tointeger() and documentwithfolder ruleinput in expression rule and used in process model. Thanks for your support.
Its a client requirement. When you are creating the same folder name with multiple times there you have to retrieve with folder ID.

This doesn't really make much sense from a procedural perspective. 2 issues:
