Has anyone tried to create a process in CRM to download files from a specific location on the app server to a folder on the user's local machine?


We have documentation attachments stored in a folder on the app server.  A business process runs each night to move the binary data from the various attachment tables to files on the app server.  I now have a request to create a process that will allow the user to do a bulk download of these files ideally using a selection to drive the process.


Thanks,

Ray Porter

    Hi Ray, 

    Have you talked to anyone at Blackbaud about the Auto File Downloader customization?  That may be the solution you are looking for. Many of our customers use it. 

    I'd suggest asking your rep at BB for info about the one!  If that doesn't help let us know and we can give you some other ideas for similar projects we've done.

    Hi Stacey,

    I'll see what I can find out.  I'm a consultant for Best Friends now and don't have direct access to the BB folks anymore and haven't since I retired from UNC 5 years ago.  I'll see if someone on the team who has support access can get the info. I still have some personal contacts at BB so I may follow up with them too.


    Thanks,

    Ray
