Instead of running tasks every half hour to check for files, Director Monitor automates the process for you. It detects when a file appears in a specific directory and ensures it’s triaged to the right process based on your needs.

Did you know you can add multiple source paths to the source path field by using a comma-separated list of fully qualified paths? If you need to monitor a specific file across multiple locations, you can include all the paths in a single line. This means one directory monitor can check multiple folders simultaneously.

For example, you can use one source path line to monitor files in both folder A and folder B. The file monitor will then automatically search both locations for files 1, 2, 3, and 4, saving you the trouble of manually checking each folder separately.

Here’s how it works across retail and banking industries:

• Retail: Most retailers have a file listing what was sold. Director Monitor moves it to a directory for processing, helping you track sales and replenish inventory easily—and it ensures files are processed only once.
• Banking: Managing files across multiple agencies? Director Monitor moves them automatically to a central server for efficient processing, like handling agency data centrally at the end of the day.

With everything centralized and automated, you save time, reduce resource use, and streamline operations.
