- Create a new form definition called “FileWidgetDef.”
- Select the Open Designer checkbox and click the “Create” button
- Drag a File widget to the canvas
- Double-click on the widget to configure the “Settings” input. Provide a name to the control. Provide the file extensions (.doc,.docx,.pdf) to accept only files of these types for upload. Provide the max file size (single file or sum of all files) to accept for upload. Select the checkbox “Required” if attachments are mandatory. Select the checkbox “Hide” not to show the control during run time. Select the checkbox “ReadOnly” to prevent file upload. The existing files (attached by a previous process instance) may be downloaded by selecting the “Allow download on Read-only” check box. Select the checkbox “Show uploaded file” to list files after the user uploads in run time.
