l Sort order: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, select the order in which you want
the files to be sorted.
l Use archive attribute: Select to turn on the archive attribute of the data files found in the source folder
and to leave them in their original location (i.e. to take copies of the source files). Note that
PlanetPress Workflow never takes source files that have their archive attribute turned on (so the
source files will not be taken again and again). When this option is turned off, PlanetPress Workflow
removes data files from the source location.
l Capture files in sub-directories also: Select to capture files from child folders of the source folder as
well.
l Sort directories first: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, and if you want the folders
present in the source folder to be sorted first, select this option. When this option is selected, the
chosen Sort order is applied to each separate folder, not across folders. The subfolders themselves
are always processed in alphabetical order, regardless of the sort order.
l Include hidden files: Select if you want any hidden folders or files present in the source folder to be
taken as well.
l Include empty files: Select if you want any empty folders or files present in the source folder to be
taken as well.
