A file object can be displayed in a cell to allow the user to attach a file. After the user selects it, the file is immediately copied to the server into a temporary directory. Work in the form is temporarily suspended while the file is being copied. When the file upload is finished, a button appears that opens the file.
The temporary file is applied as a JobRouter attachment when the step is saved. The temporary directory for uploaded files is:
uploads/temp/Form/<workflowid>/<Elementname>
The upload form displays the name of the file after completing the upload. During Send or Save the attachFileToProcess function is called and the path to the file is conveyed.

Permitted file extensions |
By default files are only checked based on the restricted data extensions list during the upload (configuration menu, security settings). If you specify further file extensions (comma-separated list) for these element properties, only files of that type can be uploaded. The priority of the security settings is higher - if a file extension is allowed for the element that is forbidden globally, the upload of such a file will not be possible further on. |
