Select Folder Dialog Action requires user to choose a folder using standard Windows interface. While the user is browsing for required folder, the Task is effectively paused. When the folder is specified, Select Folder Dialog Action stores its path and name into a variable that can be retrieved by any subsequent Action within the same Task.
Set custom message text and the folder in which the user is supposed to begin locating necessary folder. All parameter inputs support dynamic Variable Wizard values which means that the parameters can be determined by the data or outcome of preceding Actions within the same Tasks.
| Dialog | Details |
|---|---|
| Initial folder | The folder from which the user will start to look for the required one. |
| Message to display | Provide short message text displayed in Folder Dialog window. |
| Test this dialog | Push the Test button to see the appearance of Folder Dialog window with current settings. Note that Variable Wizard values are empty in test mode. |
| Browse |  Use Browse to select a particular file or folder on local disk, network share on LAN (local area network), etc. |
| Variable Wizard |  Use dynamic data input—substitute a parameter from a file, web, connected Trigger, other Actions, date and time presets, etc. |
