AI-generated

Overview

This node operation adds a new folder to a datastore within a specified case. It is useful for organizing data by creating hierarchical folder structures inside a case management or digital forensic investigation system. For example, a user can add a new folder named 'Evidence' under a parent folder to categorize files related to a specific case.

Use Case Examples

  1. Adding a new folder named 'Project Documents' under the parent folder 'Case Files' for case ID 12345.
  2. Creating a subfolder 'Photos' inside an existing folder to store image evidence.

Properties

Name Meaning
Case ID The unique identifier of the case to which the folder will be added.
Folder Name The name of the new folder to be created.
Parent Folder Name or ID The identifier or name of the parent folder under which the new folder will be created. This can be selected from a list or specified via an expression.
Options Additional options for the operation, such as whether to return the raw response from the API.

Output

JSON

  • folderId - The unique identifier of the newly created folder.
  • folderName - The name of the newly created folder.
  • parentFolderId - The identifier of the parent folder under which the new folder was created.
  • caseId - The case ID associated with the folder.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or authentication token to connect to the DFIR IRIS system or datastore service.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Case ID is valid and exists in the system before adding a folder.
  • Verify that the Parent Folder ID or name is correct and accessible.
  • If the node returns an error about permissions, check that the API key or authentication token has sufficient rights to create folders.
  • If the 'Return Raw' option is enabled, the output may be unprocessed and require additional parsing.
