Script Events:

  1. discovers if there are any devices in the original folder older than a certain date
  2. if it finds at least one, then it outputs the details into an external grid view window and queries the administrator if he/she wants to move all the discovered devices
  3. if the answer is 'yes' then it moves the devices to another folder
  4. if the answer is 'no' or it hasn't been chosen (then it defaults to 'no'), then the script will exit
