Hi,
I'm creating an asset on Catalog whereby a user inputs their email address which triggers a workflow.
The issue I'm having is passing the Catalog location/Directory of the asset ("Start \ L&D Mandatory Training \ Model 2: Data model-led \ Data: Course completions") itself into the workflow, as I need to parse out some of the detail. Is it possible for the asset to identify it's own location on Catalog?
Cheers,
Alistair
Good question. There are no built-in tools for that. If the asset is guaranteed to have a unique name, then it's possible to build a list of all assets in all directories and then filter by the asset name.
Below is a sample project that lists recursively all assets in all directories in the current space.

Thanks Dmitry, might be something to consider, in our Catalogue development work there might be some applications for an Asset to self-identify it's (and/or it's Directory's) ID (do Catalogue Directory/Asset IDs exist?) and location.
For example, I'm trialling a data access workflow, whereby a user clicks 'Retrieve' which then triggers an email chain to their manager and Data Lead. At the moment the Workflow works, and is able to log the distinct instances of 'Retrieve', but can't self-identify the dataset it applies to. The workflow itself could be applied to an unlimited number of datasets but the morph remain agnostic to the data (i.e. no data-identifying filtering within), so we might only need one morph, rather than one for each dataset.
