Hello all!
I've been using Tableau Prep for just a few months. I've been downloading files with long names: I now need to move/archive these using the existing name in Box.
Can I move files using Prep, preserving the file's original name?
Example:
CutestKittensInCalifornia-2021-17-11.CSV (from Download folder) ==>
CutestKittensInCalifornia-2021-17-11.CSV (in Box folder)
I would prefer NOT to have to type in the full name each time I point to a new file (I know, I'm lazy).
I know we can export it as a constant name ("CutestKittensInCalifornia.CSV") but my goal is to maintain the full name. Thoughts?

Prep won't do that, but you can create a batch file to run the flow using the prep Command Line
https://help.tableau.com/current/prep/en-us/prep_run_commandline.htm
The flow will have a standar output with a standard name, and a second instruction with xcopy or copy to copy your file with the desired name to the desired Box folder.
Regards,
Diego
