How to upload multiple reports, located in different files at once

Steven Jones Jul 12, 2017 8:09 AM

I am having a problem where I have about 234 different accounts organized into individual folders, within each folder is 12-60 pdf files in which I am extracting information. Each account folder actually contains another folder named identically, which contains the pdfs. For example the file path for one pdf would look like: "AccountName\Accountname\01-20-2017.pdf" How can I select all the pdfs from different accounts to import into Monarch, without individually going into each folder and selecting them all and dragging them into Monarch? I am using the latest version of Datawatch Monarch and DPS.

Steven,

What I do in those cases is go to the main root folder that has your AccountName folder, and if you are using Windows 7 or higher, you should be able to perform a wildcard search for PDFs using ' *.pdf '. It will then list all PDF files in any subfolders, and then you can highlight them all and load at once. Hope that helps.
