Objectifs :
This tutorial aims to guide users in creating a conditional switch action in SharePoint to automate file sorting based on file extensions. By the end of this tutorial, users will be able to set up an automated flow that efficiently organizes files into designated folders without the need for complex nested conditional blocks.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Conditional Actions
In this section, we will explore the concept of conditional actions, specifically the switch type, which allows for the generation of sequences of actions based on specific cases. This method simplifies the process by avoiding the nesting of multiple 'if' conditional blocks. -
Setting Up the Automated Flow
To illustrate the use of a conditional switch, we will use the example of sorting files deposited in a team's folder based on their extensions. The goal is to sort files such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into their respective folders. Begin by configuring the automated flow using a SharePoint trigger that activates upon the creation of a file. -
Configuring SharePoint Trigger
1. Select the target team and the relevant document library. 2. Limit the monitoring to a specific folder by checking the 'restrict to folder' option in the advanced settings. 3. Specify the concerned folder for file sorting. -
Isolating File Extensions
To test the file extension, include a function in Power FX language that isolates the extension. Although another tutorial covers the basics of Power FX in more detail, you can find the message action in the predefined actions. In the data operation category, use the FX button to paste the isolation function. -
Retrieving File Metadata
Next, retrieve the file's metadata, particularly the access path, which will be used to move the file. Specify the team containing the monitored folder and point to the deposited file to retrieve its metadata. Add dynamic content by identifying the file using the identifier field associated with it. -
Creating Conditional Switch Actions
Now, generate actions based on the file type by adding an action from the control category and choosing the conditional switch action. The isolated file extension will allow you to process all specific cases. Test the element to be evaluated, which is the output of your message containing the file extension. -
Defining Actions for Each File Type
1. Add a specific case for PowerPoint files (PTX) and a SharePoint file move action, specifying the site or team's address. 2. Reference the file dynamically by its path retrieved from the 'get file metadata' action and specify the destination, such as a subfolder named 'PowerPoint'. 3. Define the default action for files with the same name and set a move with a new name. 4. Repeat this procedure for each file type: XLX for Excel and DOCX for Word, renaming your cases for clarity. -
Handling Unmatched File Extensions
For the default case, define actions if the file extension does not match any previously processed cases, for example, moving it to an 'others' folder. -
Finalizing the Flow
Finally, add a message posting action to the team after the conditional block, which will execute regardless of the processed case. Specify that a file has been added to a specific folder using dynamic content. Save and test your flow. -
Testing the Flow
Upload a file from Teams, such as a PowerPoint presentation, and verify that the file is moved to the correct folder and that the team message is posted accurately. Repeat the process with a PDF file to ensure the flow works perfectly. -
Conclusion
This tutorial provides a comprehensive example of using a fully functional switch condition in SharePoint. By following these steps, users can automate file sorting efficiently, enhancing productivity and organization within their teams.
FAQ :
What is a conditional action in SharePoint?
A conditional action in SharePoint allows you to automate workflows by executing specific actions based on defined conditions, such as the type of file uploaded.
How do I create a switch type conditional action?
To create a switch type conditional action, you need to define the variable to evaluate, add specific cases for each possible value, and specify the actions to take for each case.
What are file extensions and why are they important?
File extensions are suffixes that indicate the file type, such as .docx for Word documents. They are important because they determine how files are handled and which applications can open them.
How can I test my automated flow in SharePoint?
You can test your automated flow by uploading a file to the specified folder and verifying that the file is processed correctly according to the defined actions, such as being moved to the appropriate folder.
What should I do if my flow doesn't work as expected?
If your flow doesn't work as expected, check the conditions and actions defined in your workflow, ensure that the file extensions are correctly specified, and review any error messages for troubleshooting.
Quelques cas d'usages :
Automating File Organization in Teams
In a corporate environment, a team can use a conditional action to automatically sort files uploaded to a shared folder based on their extensions. For example, PowerPoint presentations can be moved to a designated 'PowerPoint' folder, while Excel files are sorted into an 'Excel' folder, improving organization and accessibility.
Streamlining Document Management
A project manager can implement a switch type conditional action to manage project documents efficiently. By sorting files into specific folders based on their types, the team can easily locate necessary documents, enhancing productivity and reducing time spent searching for files.
Ensuring Compliance with File Types
In a regulated industry, a compliance officer can set up a flow that checks file extensions before allowing uploads. If a file type does not meet compliance standards, it can be automatically redirected to a review folder, ensuring that only approved file types are stored.
Improving Team Communication
After implementing a conditional action, a team can automatically post messages in a channel whenever a file is added to a specific folder. This keeps all team members informed about new documents and enhances collaboration.
Glossaire :
conditional action
An action that is executed based on specific conditions being met, allowing for dynamic decision-making in workflows.
switch type
