Variable folder output

Hello Community,

There was a previous question about variable filename output. This was very helpfull, but it got me thinking. Is it also possible to have a variable output folder. I tried a few things similar to the variable output mask but it doesn’t work. It just creates a new folder with a filename that represents my futile attempt to make the output folder variable.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

This problem is now solved. Using the workflow we filled a variable which passes through to automation (jobinfo9) with a directory path. This is then filled in at the output folder in output creation settings.

In our case, we used jobinfo9. At the Job Output Folder we filled in @automation.jobinfo9@.

Keep in mind, the jobinfo9 variable needs to have the full path to the folder. If the folder does not exist, it is created automatically.

Regards,
