Hi @Jaganmohan 

 

If you point a directory tool at the relevant folder, you'd then be able to use a filter tool with date time now and the Creation Date field (DateTimeDiff(DateTimeNow(),[CreationTime],'day') < 30) to keep the relevant records. Something like this following:

No point me really attaching the workflow since it's just pointed to a random folder on my computer but let me know if you have any questions

Hey @Jaganmohan yeah no problem! 

 

Just add another condition to your filter that excludes weekend days. Adding something like this should work:

 

AND
DateTimeFormat([CreationTime],'%A') NOT IN  ('Saturday', 'Sunday')
