How to set up a monitor service

Overview

As part of the advanced Automate features of Zed Axis you can set up a service to run in the background to automatically monitor a folder for new files. Matching files are then retrieved and added into the Axis inbox ready for processing by a Rule.

Steps to create a monitor service

To create a new monitor service follow these steps:

1. In the Zed Axis Automate module, click on the Monitor button on the menu bar.
2. Browse to the folder you want to monitor.
3. Click OK and the folder will be set.
4. When a new file is copied to the monitored folder Axis will process it into the Inbox to be processed by a Rule.
5. Finally the file will be deleted from the folder.

You can delete or change the monitoring service by selecting the Monitor folder button and browsing to a new folder.
