Configuration of a File upload control

Configure the File upload control to suit your requirements.

More info

Enable the "Require session ID" system setting if you want to enforce authentication for all file uploads.
• Use security tokens if you want to control access to File upload controls based on user roles and permissions. See the General tab of File upload control properties.

For security purposes, all File upload control configuration settings are stored in the database and retrieved on the server side using the form ID and control ID, preventing potential security vulnerabilities.

Name	Description
Auto save	If selected, files are uploaded automatically when selected at runtime. (Default: Clear) The files are automatically uploaded when you select OK in the confirmation message without invoking a File upload action.
Drag and drop	If selected, you can upload files via 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	Determines whether uploaded files are stored in the repository. If clear (default), files are stored in the specified location. Specify the storage path in the Destination box. Select Overwrite to allow an uploaded file to replace an existing file with the same name. If multiple files are uploaded to a folder using an iOS device, all images are automatically assigned the name image, such as image.png or image.jpeg. If "Overwrite" is clear, the first image is uploaded, but subsequent uploads fail because files with the same name already exist. If "Overwrite" is selected, only the last image is uploaded, and no message is displayed that only one image was uploaded. If selected, files are stored in the repository. To store the uploaded files, configure the following: Folder ID: Specifies the folder in which the document is stored. Select a form control or a form data variable containing a valid folder instance ID. Alternatively, enter a static folder instance ID. If the folder location is left blank, a new folder is created. Document ID: Specifies the variable that stores the ID of the newly created document. Select a form control or a form data variable to store the returned document ID. The Document ID option is hidden when "Multiple" is selected as the file selection mode because it does not apply to multiple file uploads. Store uploaded files in the repository rather than file system paths, when possible, for better security and management. The "Overwrite" option is not available when files are uploaded to the repository. The "Store in repository" option is not available in TotalAgility Azure and on-premise multi-tenancy environments. In these environments, uploaded files are automatically stored in the repository.
File types	Configure appropriate file type restrictions to prevent upload of potentially harmful files. Allowed (default): Permits only the specified file types to be uploaded. Select . Enter an extension, such as .png. Select Add. Repeat the procedure to add more extensions as needed. Restricted: Prevents the specified file types from being uploaded. Select . Enter an extension, such as .png. Select Add. Repeat the procedure to add more extensions as needed. The Allowed and Restricted options are only available for desktop forms. If restricted file types are included during upload, a message is displayed to confirm if you want to upload only the allowed file types. Select Yes to upload only the allowed files. Select No to cancel the upload. For forms imported from a previous version, the file type setting defaults to Restricted.
