Folder
Folder is a central flow element that serves as an intermediary for moving jobs between other
flow elements. Each folder flow element instance represents a backing folder on disk that can
hold jobs before, after or in between processing steps. The contents of the backing folder can
also be accessed by external processes or by users. For example, a folder may be used to submit
jobs into a flow or to retrieve the results of a flow.
Keywords
Keywords can be used with the search function above the Elements pane.
The keywords for the Folder element are:

Processing jobs
Any subfolders placed into a folder are treated as a job folder; that is, the subfolder and its
contents are moved along as a single entity.
If a folder has no outgoing connections (that is, it is a "dead-end" folder), a job placed in the
folder will stay there until it is removed by some external process that is not under the control
of Switch.
If a folder has at least one outgoing connection, a job placed in the folder is removed after it
was processed by all outgoing connections. If none of the filters on the outgoing connection(s)
match, the job is moved to the problem jobs folder. Refer to Handling problem jobs on page 114
and error handling preferences for more details.
Properties
Note that certain properties are present only for folders that have at least one outgoing connection,
and certain other properties are present only for folders that have no outgoing connections
("dead-end" folders)
