Configuration of a File upload control

Auto save

If selected, allows files to be automatically uploaded as soon as they are selected at runtime. (Default: Clear)

Drag and drop

• If selected, you can upload files using drag and drop in TotalAgility Workspace. You can also set the height (default: 150 px) and percentage height of a control. See "Use viewport height" and "Height" properties in Design properties of a control.

• If clear (default), then you can use the standard browse to files and upload.

File selection mode

Indicates whether you can upload Single or Multiple files.

Store in repository

Indicates whether to store the uploaded files in the repository.

• If clear (default), the files are stored in the specified location. Specify the path to the location in the Destination box.

  Select Overwrite to allow a file that exists with the same name to be overwritten by the file being uploaded.

  • If you upload multiple files to a folder using an ios device, the system automatically changes the names of all the images to image, such as image.png or image.jpeg
  • If you clear the "Overwrite" option, the system uploads the first image but for the rest of the images, it displays a message that the image already exists.
  • If you select the "Overwrite" option, the system only uploads the last selected image and does not display any message that only one image was uploaded.

• If selected, stores the uploaded files in the repository. To store the uploaded files, configure the following:
  • Folder ID: Sets the ID of the folder that the document will be stored in. Select a form control or a form data variable that has a valid folder instance ID, or enter a static valid folder instance ID.
    If the folder location is blank, a new folder is created.
  • Document ID: Sets the variable that will hold the ID of the new document that is created for the file upload. Select a form control or a form data variable to store the returned document ID.
    The document ID is hidden when "Multiple" is selected for file mode, as it does not apply to multiple file uploads.

• Allowed (default): Allows the specified file types to be uploaded at runtime. To specify the allowed file types, click , enter the allowed extension, such as .png, and click Add. Similarly, add more extensions as needed.
