Exporting Documents out of Worldox to a Windows Folder Structure

This method doesn’t seem to work a lot, but this way always works: https://optiable.com/how-to-export-documents-from-worldox-to-a-windows-folder-structure/

When firms leave Worldox, sometimes they decide not to migrate everything to NetDocuments.
The last firm I worked with had been using Worldox for 20 years and decided they only wanted the last 10 years of active files.

Sometimes an attorney will need an older file moved to NetDocuments.  When you dump a document out of Worldox, it wants to dump them out in a single folder.

There is a way to configure Worldox to dump those documents and have them appear in Client, Matter, and Doc Type folders.

Step 1:  In Worldox, right click on a document, go to Send To and click Add/Edit

Step 3:  Fill Out the Form

Description:  Windows Folder Description

Run: %wdcodepath%\wdcopy.exe

Parameters: @%@ “%USERPROFILE%\desktop\WDOX\%Field1Desc%\%Field2Desc%\%Field3Desc%\*.*” /LFN

If you need to shorten the Windows folders paths by using the worldox codes instead of descriptions, do this:

Description:  Windows Folder Codes

Run: %wdcodepath%\wdcopy.exe

Parameters: @%@ “%USERPROFILE%\desktop\WDOX\%Field1%\%Field2%\%Field3%\*.*” /LFN

Step 4:  Do a Search in Worldox for a Client and Matter

Step 5: Tag All Documents in that Matter

Step 6: Right Click on one of the documents, choose Sent To and then either the Windows Folder Code, or Description

Worldox will Export all the documents to a folder on your desktop called WDOX
