Use the file upload control to enable file attachments to forms. A form may be used to capture data related to another document, like a PDF or image file (JPG, GIF, TIFF). If for example users were capturing photos related to an insurance claim, the form may capture relevant details like Date and Claim number. A File component can be included on the form for users to attach the photos related to the claim. Files attached to a form may be accessible by the user of the form once uploaded, and may be released as additional pages of a document.
By dragging a file component to a form and clicking Save on the settings panel, your form is ready to receive files. GlobalForms is configured out of the box to accept uploads from the file component. Administrators may wish to set minimum and maximum sizes for files attached to forms. Size settings are found on the Display tab of the settings panel.
Upload Url
Prior to GlobalForms 10.2, if an administrator attempted to import a from from another GlobalForms environment, the Upload Url setting will need to be adjusted to reflect the correct GlobalForms instance. As of version 10.2, importing a form with a File Component will automatically adjust to the target server's upload location.
Note: You can not alter the Upload Url's path. Only the protocol, server or fully qualified domain name, and port should be modified. If you deploy forms and modify the GlobalForms configuration at a later date (new port, changing from http to https, or you change the GlobalForms server's IP address or name), you may need to modify the Upload Url for all forms that use a File Component.
