Export for screens - Exporting multiple documents

What I'm trying to do is save time when I'm saving files. I can't find an appropriate solution for my use case. The "export for screens" interface seems to be the closest solution, but the problem is that it doesn't allow to save the document types that I need.

What I want is to be able, at the end of each project, or even during if possible, to have multiple documents exported to multiple folders, with their assigned suffixes.

For example,

Folder name	Document Name	Suffix	Extension
Artwork	Artboard 1		.ai
Press	Artboard 1		.pdf
Proof	Artboard 1	LR	.pdf
Tiff	Artboard 1		.tiff

Is there something within Illustrator that allows me to automate this, that I've overlooked?

refer below code for sample script,

var doc = app.documents[0];

var assets = doc.assets;

var whatToExport = new ExportForScreensItemToExport();

whatToExport.artboards = '20-59';

whatToExport.document = true;

var jpegParam = new ExportForScreensOptionsJPEG();

jpegParam.compressionMethod = JPEGCompressionMethodType.PROGRESSIVE;

jpegParam.progressiveScan = 4;

jpegParam.antiAliasing = AntiAliasingMethod.None;

jpegParam.embedICCProfile = true;

jpegParam.scaleType = ExportForScreensScaleType.SCALEBYFACTOR;

jpegParam.scaleTypeValue = 3;

var path=new File(InitialFolderPath);

doc.exportForScreens(path, ExportForScreensType.SE_JPEG80, jpegParam, whatToExport, "JPEG80_");

In the Illustrator Scripting link you provide no such internal functions are provide like "ExportForScreensItemToExport()" without that we are unable to know its properties right? so, please can you guide us where we can find these function to build some custom scripts
