Evaluate Files Metrics
Description
Evaluate Files Metrics checks the total size or count of files and folders in a specified path and evaluates the result against defined success criteria. Use this process entry to make branching decisions based on file system conditions — for example, verifying that a minimum number of input files exist before starting processing, checking that a folder is not empty, or confirming that the total file size meets expected thresholds.
