What does it do?

The Rename Folder (Lists) wizard renames a folder in a SharePoint list.

How is it used?

Folders are used to organize list items. In a business application, for example, SharePoint may have a folder for each client's order history. If that client is no longer actively doing business, a workflow could rename the folder to indicate the account is currently closed.

Wizards can be edited. For more information see Edit Wizards.

Select the SharePoint list and folder that should be renamed by either using a reference created earlier in the workflow or by browsing to a site.

Field Description Sample Value
List Use this option if a reference was created earlier in this workflow for the List. Click the drop-down list to select the reference name.
Site Collection If no reference is available, browse to the item on a registered SharePoint Site Collection. The Site Collection field is populated with the default Site Collection. Choose a site collection from the available site collections that have the K2 for SharePoint app registered. If there is only one it is auto-selected.
Folder Name of the folder to be renamed Type a value, or drag a value from the Context Browser such as a pre-configured Data Field, Item Reference or a SmartObject Load method. Note that when a SmartObject Load method is used, an input property is required for the correct data to load.

Select the SharePoint list of the folder that should be renamed.

Field Description Sample Value
Site Collection Navigation If the SharePoint Site Collection contains subsites, navigate to the required List by clicking the subsite. Select the required List and click Next to continue the wizard.
  • Use the Root button to navigate to the Main SharePoint Site Collection.
  • Use the Up button to navigate one step back in the breadcrumb.
  • Use the Refresh button to refresh the list of items displayed.

Type a value or drag a field from the Context Browser to set the new name of the folder.

Field Description Sample Value
