Submitting an RDO to a hot folder

CAUTION: If you are submitting an RDO to a hot folder, do 

not open, copy, move, delete, or rename an RDO document 

using Windows Explorer. You will corrupt the document.

To submit an RDO to a hot folder

1. Select [Start: Programs: Xerox FreeFlow Software: File 

Manager].

NOTE: To submit files to a hot folder, you can also use legacy 

Document Library if you have a FreeFlow Process Manager 

upgrade, or you can use Web Services.

2. In File Manager, navigate to the appropriate RDO.

NOTE: In File Manager, the .CON file is not visible.

3. Right-click the file. In the context menu, select [Copy].

4. In the Copy dialog, select [To]. Type the path to the desired 

hot folder, for example, C:\Documents and 

Settings\Administrator\Desktop\RDO Hot Folder.

NOTE: To display the path to the desired hot folder, select 

[Options: Hot Folder] and locate the hot folder path.

5. Select [OK]. The file is automatically submitted to the workflow 

associated with the hot folder. 

If either the RDO or the .CON folder is missing from the hot folder, 

the file will not be processed. You must then manually delete the 

file from the hot folder.
