Document locking - Do until loop

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 364

Hello All,

In my flow I am using a do until loop to mitigate against document locking, which seems to be working.

My do until has the max 5000 count and 30 days limit.

 

In my testing i have an individual keep the excel file open and the looping kicks in.

In one of the tests the individual had the excel file open but the update properties was successful and it moved to the next process stage.

 

My expectation was it would continue to loop while individual is in the file or can it unlock the document if the person is not active in the file after a period of time.

 

Thanks for your time

    Can you show a screenshot or explain how the Do Until is supposed to mitigate document locking?

     

    I thought the settings of the Document Library which has files checked in or checked out would be what managed how a file is updated.
