Pathname exceeds 255-Character Limit

If you have encountered the error message:-

"Sorry! We are unable to process the request of Bulk Export Generation. Please shorten the folder/file(s) name to continue."

- then somewhere in your folder structure is a file that has a name - which includes the entire path and file extension - that exceeds the 255 character limit imposed by Windows.

Unfortunately, there's nothing that we can do about this limit and there are only two workarounds:

1. Rename and shorten the file name, or

2. Move the file to a folder higher in the folder hierarchy (which will shorten the path name).

We encourage administrators to avoid this issue altogether by keeping folder structures shallow and abbreviating very long file names wherever possible.
