Automatic Folder Creation

If you want to build an automatic folder creation process in S-Drive for any type of object you have when you insert a new record, please refer to this section. We will use Account and cg_AccountFile_c object for our example.

1. For the object you have, create an Apex Trigger.

2. If you want this folder creation to take place after you create a new record, the trigger should work with an "after insert" statement.

3. In the Apex Trigger, paste the following lines:
   

   trigger AccountFoldersTrigger on Account (after insert) {
   List<cg__AccountFile__c> folders = new List<cg__AccountFile__c>();
   for(Account c : Trigger.new{
     cg__AccountFile__c folder = new cg__AccountFile__c();
     folder.cg__WIP__c = false;
     folder.cg__Content_Type__c = 'Folder';
     folder.cg__File_Size_in_Bytes__c = 0;
     folder.cg__File_Name__c = 'Test Folder 1';
     folder.cg__Description__c = 'Some description for folder'; //use
     a description field if needed.
     folder.cg__Account__c = c.Id;
     folders.add(folder);
     
     cg__AccountFile__c folder2 = new cg__AccountFile__c();
     folder2.cg__WIP__c = false;
     folder2.cg__Content_Type__c = 'Folder';
     folder2.cg__File_Size_in_Bytes__c = 0;
     folder2.cg__File_Name__c = 'Test Folder 2'; //use name as
     appropriate
     folder2.cg__Description__c = 'Some description for folder'; //use a
     description field if needed.
     folder2.cg__Account__c = c.Id;
     folders.add(folder2);
     
     if(folders.size() > 0){
     insert folders;
     }
   }
   

4. Add up to your requirement the number of folders created.

5. Change the Folder Names by changing the “File Name” section.
   For our example, the field is written as “cg__File_Name__c”.

6. You can add descriptions to your folders by changing the “Description” field.
   For our example, the field is written as “cg__Description__c”.

7. Make sure your Apex Trigger is active.

8. Test by inserting a new test record and you can use these folders according to your needs
