An example would be the task of copying many files
from one location to another for archival purposes.
Without an automation system - you would have to
manually choose each file, then select "copy" or "cut" then "paste"
or "drag and drop" from one location to the other.
With an automation system - you have the ability
to filter and view only the files you want. Click a button and those files are
transferred to a pre-selected location or multiple locations automatically.
In addition to that, the system can record each file
name, the source and destination locations along with the date to a report file
for later verification that all files were transferred and when.
