5.3 Types of folders
Organizing your Enfocus PitStop Server work environment
When setting up a hot folder, you can specify all folders and organize them in such a way that they
fit your working environment best. For example, you may choose to save processed documents in
separate folders, depending on their process result (OK, Warning, Error...) or you can save all
processed documents in the same folder. The same applies to original documents, non-PDF files
and process reports.
Below, you find a brief overview and description of the folders you can specify using the Hot Folder
Editor.
Base folder
The base folder is the root folder from which you can make other folders branch automatically.
You do not necessarily have to define a base folder, and even if you do, the various folders dont
need to be directly under the base folder. It may however be recommended to do so.
Input and output folders can be defined using absolute paths, or using relative paths. For these
relative paths, the base folder will be used as starting location
For example, you can define a base folder for each hot folder, as shown in the example below.

Input Folder
The "Input Folder" is the starting point of the workflow. This is the folder which Enfocus PitStop
Server will monitor for new documents to arrive. As soon as Enfocus PitStop Server detects a
document in this folder, processing will start. As soon as the document is in process, the original
input file will be removed from the input folder and moved to the Original Documents folder. The
input file will be read, processed and saved to one of the output folders for processed documents.
Folders for original documents
When a document arrives in the input folder, Enfocus PitStop Server will not only process this
document, but it can also keep the original. Originals can be placed in either one of the following
folders, depending on the process result:
A folder for originals that are processed with success
A folder for originals that are processed with warning(s)
A folder for originals that are processed with fixes
