Copy Document Plug-in

The Copy Document plug-in is used to create a copy of a document or a supporting document (or both). Documents or supporting documents are copied to a file system or a folder inside a File Library. This plug-in only works for the custom Excel workflow.

Note: The AppPool user should have permission to the specified directory to save the file.

Example

• Folder – [Due Date]
• List – MOCs
• Name – [NewID]_[BaseName].[FileType]
• Site – http://acme.com/sv/DocEx

This example copies the process-associated document to the folder contained in the SharePoint column Due Date in the list MOCs in the site http://acme.com/sv/DocEx. The file will be renamed to the value in the NewID field, followed by a _, followed by the base name of the document, followed by the file’s extension.
