File Upload Control

Your user account or group membership must have the following permissions to design a Screen unless your user account has the Make this user a Super Admin setting selected:

• Screens: Edit Screens

• Screens: View Screens

See the Screens permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance.

Enter the name of the uploaded file.

Edit the default label that displays for this control if necessary. New File Upload is the default value.

Select the Upload multiple files setting to allow the Screen user to upload multiple files at once using this File Upload control.

Select the Required setting to require a file be uploaded before the Screen can be submitted. This setting is not selected by default.

Enter the file type(s) this control accepts for upload by referencing their MIME types. Separate multiple MIME types with commas (,). One space after each comma is acceptable.

Accepted File Formats:
The File Upload control supports the following formats:
.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .txt, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .mp3, .mp4, .csv, .svg

These extensions should be mapped to their corresponding MIME types. For example:

application/pdf, application/msword, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,
application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet,
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation,
text/plain, image/jpeg, image/png, image/gif, audio/mpeg, video/mp4, text/csv, image/svg+xml

Example:

To successfully upload .DOCX files, add the MIME type for .DOCX to the file accepted configuration:

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

Note:

When using the File Upload control, PDF files are scanned for potentially harmful content before being accepted. Uploads will be blocked and users will see a "dangerous content" warning if the PDF includes any of the following:

• /JS or /JavaScript objects

• /AA (Additional Actions) entries

• /OpenAction entries that trigger scripts

• /Launch, /RichMedia, or /Movie annotations

• Embedded file streams containing executable or suspicious MIME types

These restrictions are in place to protect users from uploading PDFs that could execute malicious code.

Specify an expression that indicates the condition(s) under which this control displays. See Expression Syntax Components. If this setting does not have an expression, then this control displays by default.

For example, this control displays if the variable value tip is 1. For a detailed example of the Visibility Rule setting, see Show or Hide Controls Based on Button Selection.

Note the following regarding how to use visibility rules:

• To make this control hidden until another control contains a value, enter the Variable Name setting value of that control to this control's Visibility Rule setting.

• Visibility rules override custom CSS settings.

Select on which device types this control displays:

• Desktop: The control displays only on desktop devices. Enable the Show for Desktop toggle key.

• Mobile: The control displays only on mobile devices. Enable the Show for Mobile toggle key.

• Both: The control displays on both desktop and mobile devices. Both toggle keys are enabled by default.

  

Enter the value to represent this control in custom CSS syntax when in Custom CSS mode. As a best practice, use the same CSS Selector Name value on different controls of the same type to apply the same custom CSS style to all those controls.

Then, use this name in the Custom CSS feature to apply CSS styling to this control as follows:

[selector='Submit Form'] {
    color: blueviolet;
}

See the following best practices regarding custom CSS in Screens:

• Editing a CSS name to represent this control in custom CSS syntax

• Visibility rules override custom CSS settings

Enter the string that provides a text alternative to this control for the following purposes:

• Assistive technology, such as screen readers, read the Aria Label setting value.

• This control has a visual indication of its purpose, such as a controlthat uses a graphic instead of text, but still needs to clarify that purpose for anyone who cannot access the visual indication.

The Aria Label setting value replaces the Label setting value. For example, if a control has both a Label setting value and an Aria Label setting value, assistive technology only uses the Aria Label setting value.

Tab order determines the sequential navigation order to navigate a Screen's controls using a keyboard interface. Assistive technology users often use a keyboard for navigation.

See best practices for setting the tab order for a Screen's controls.

Enter the number for the sequential keyboard navigation order that this control takes focus amongst other controls in this Screen.
