Workflow activation connected to folders

We can assign workflows to different roles as well as users by setting it up in available_templates.cfg.

Is there any way we can assign a workflow to a particular folder for the same user. That is, for example if user Y submits from folder A then he triggers a particular workflow. If the same user Y submits from another folder B then he triggers a different workflow.

Appreciate your response

Try the branch_list rules.

Which version of TeamSite and which platform?
Anyways, try this:
available_templates.cfg
<path file_path="/default/main/branchname" />
<branch_list>
<branch value ="/default/main/branchname/WORKAREA/workareaname" include ="yes"/>
<branch value ="all" include ="no"/>
</branch_list>

In avaiable_templates.ipl

if ($command eq "submit")
{
if ($iw_branch =~ m|main/branchname/WORKAREA/workareaname/|)
{
return
[
"default/workflowname.wft", (and the list here)

Hope this helps.

To clarify a bit on akshat's post:

If an available_templates.cfg file exists in your installed version of TeamSite (5.x by default, 4.x with WorkflowBuilder installed) - you should only look at making changes to that file.

If, however, that file does not exist on your system (TeamSite 4.x without WorkflowBuilder) - then you would be looking to make changes to available_templates.ipl

NOTE: Prior to TeamSite 5.5.2 - the branch path to match against began with "main/" - no leading slash, no "/default/" either.

NOTE: prior to TeamSite 5.5.2 (and possibly some of the later Service Packs for earlier releases of TeamSite 5.x) - workflows initiated through [saving and] closing the Edit DCR window (using < command value="tt_data" include="yes"/>) *only* provided branch path information upto to the level of the TeamSite area (workarea, staging area, edition) and not the full directory path to where you might have navigated before issuing the Edit DCR command.
