Configure a File Router step

A File Router step opens a source file data item, evaluates child route formulas in order and copies the file to the first matching route's File Connection. The step itself has no additional published scalar settings; its route items own the destinations and formulas.

Configure deterministically

  1. Select a File Definition source and create route items in priority order.
  2. Make route formulas mutually understandable; place specific rules before broad catch-alls.
  3. Select a tested destination File Connection for every route.
  4. Compile each formula and test matched, unmatched, overlapping and error cases.
  5. Verify the first-match result and final name/path with sanitised files.

Only the first matching route copies. In Test Run the router evaluates the logic but suppresses its normal copy, so use log/formula evidence and a controlled live test before activation. A formula error or missing source/destination can fail/cancel the step. Route destinations use the service identity and can overwrite/collide according to File Connection naming behaviour. See route/command overview and File Connection naming.
