About hot
folders
The hot folder function allows you to designate one or more
folders on your system to be monitored, at set intervals, by the
Process Manager application. When a file is detected in a hot
folder, it is automatically submitted to the workflow associated with
that hot folder.

Hot folders and Join
To process multiple files as a single joined file, you can:
•
Use a Zip file to submit the jobs to a hot folder.
•
Submit an .xml workflow with a folder to a dynamic workflow.
•
Submit an .xml workflow with a Zip file to a dynamic workflow.
If you do not use these methods to submit multiple files to a hot
folder, each file is processed as a separate job, even if the
associated workflow contains a Join task.
