Description

Form field where images and other documents can be uploaded. If the user clicks the upload button button , he/she can select files to upload from a file browser. Alternatively, the desired files can be added with drag&drop into the marked frame.

The upload takes place as soon as a file is added to the element. Uploads are stored to the file storage of the PAS installation, to a path related to the sandbox of the current user (sandbox_<user name>/<identifier>, e.g. sandbox_david.stringer/1e10d48a-db07-4589-9e5f-8bb6448ef657). The uploaded files can be referenced in forms.

Prepopulation

The file upload element can only be prepopulated via the Attributes panel in the Form Editor. There, you can upload one or multiple files to the file storage, and add a reference within the file upload element.

  • You cannot overwrite these default nor add more files dynamically in your model.
  • The default files cannot be removed from the element in the running application.
    Exception: For elements with Upload Type = Single, any default will be replaced by a newly selected file.
