Move specific files in subfolder to new folder

Questions & Suggestions
1

On a server, we set up a daily file structure (photo below) of folders with images in subfolders. I am trying to make a macro that will go into each subfolder and put .tif files into a new folder within that folder (hard to describe, example photo below). Still new to KM so not sure how to go about doing this.

This is not exactly what you asked for, but maybe this example macro will be enough to get you started.
You will need to modify to meet your specific needs.
Please let us know if this works for you, or if you have further questions or issues about this topic.

Is there a way to sort or only pull files with the .tif file extension?

Yep, use the Get File Attribute action and then test in a If Then Else action.

Having a hard time with the get file action, not sure what variable to use or how to make it look at the correct path.

Well, there are two problems with this Action:

  1. When you use a KM Variable in a field that is expecting text, you must use the %Variable% token like this:
    %Variable%VariableName%
  2. You are using the wrong Variable for the file path. This Action requires the full path to the file, like this:
    image
