    WorkFlow

    I have a parents folder that has 35000 subfolders. None of these folders currently have a workflow associated with them. Is it possible to assign the work flow to the parent folder and have all of the child folders inherit automatically?

      I know this is an old thread but I may be able to help

      I had Bentley Professional Services (PSG) create a function for one of my clients that can change workflows on existing folders and entire folder trees. The function runs as a ProjectWise Customisation (Right-click menu) and also as a command line function.

      The function even works if there are documents in the folders as long as there are matching workflow states. If not the documents are moved to the default (first) state.

      The tool is the 'Propagate Workflow Tool'. I am unable to re-distribute it so you will need to contact your Bentley Account Manager to see if is available to purchase.

      Hope that helps

      Pete.

      Short answer: No.
      But you may investigate doing it at the database level or with some other form of trickery.
