File Upload Control
Add a control to which the Request participant can upload a file from a local computer.
Control Description
The File Upload control adds an area in the Screen to which the Request participant can upload one or more files from a local computer or accessible network location. The Request participant can drag and place the file(s) on the control or select a button from which to locate the file(s) for upload. The uploaded file(s) can be referenced in a later step in a Request.
When a file is uploaded to a Screen during an in-progress Request, then submitted, that file can be downloaded from the Files tab in that Request's summary. The file remains available from that Request's summary regardless of that Request's status.
This control is only available for Form-type Screens. See Screen Types.
The File Upload control is not available in Preview mode.
