Example:
Let’s build and execute the “FileAttachmentListDef” example.
- Create a Form definition called “FileAttachmentListDef.”
- Drag the “BootstrapGrid, File, FileAttachmentList, and Submit” controls onto the canvas and arrange them as shown below.
- Double-click the “File” widget to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide a name for the control. Set the accepted file extensions for upload. Specify the maximum file size (in MB). Mark the “Required” checkbox for mandatory input. Mark the “Hide” checkbox to hide this widget at runtime. Mark the “Read-Only” checkbox to view the list without making a selection. Mark the “Allow Multiple items” checkbox to enable selecting multiple items from the drop-down list. Mark the “Show uploaded file” checkbox to display the list of uploaded files. Mark the “Allow download on read-only” checkbox to enable viewing files at runtime. Click the Save button.
- Select the “Styling” tab. Enter the CSS syntax. Choose the classes to apply from the global drop-down list. Click the Save button.
- Select the “Others” tab, provide the tool tip text, and click the Save button.
- Select the “Globalize” tab. The application will notify you if there is nothing to globalize, as shown below. Otherwise, choose the language from the drop-down list, then click the Translate button. Finally, click the Save button.
- Double-click the “FileAttachmentList” widget to configure its “Settings” properties. The application displays the control name. Select the FileID from the drop-down list. Check the box to show the file's "created datetime" and "created by” information. Check the “Hide” box to hide this widget at runtime. Click the Save button.
- Save the Form definition. Choose Actions > Create Form Instance from the menu. Generate a new Form instance and check the box to edit it.
- The Form is displayed to the user as shown below. Choose files to upload from the local folder. Use the search text bar to filter the file selection list. Use the red (x) icon to remove a file from the list. Click the Submit button to complete the form.
- To globalize the text in the pop-up window, go to Administration > Globalization > Global, then select FlowWright. Choose the master culture. Search for the resource ‘lblForm.’ Choose the secondary culture. Select the master resource. Navigate to Translate > Azure/Google Translate > Resource. The resource text is now globalized for the chosen secondary culture.
