File Upload

The file upload control consists of several controls, but requires only one setting; the location of the upload folder in which to put the files. This is controlled by the location of the form within the portal, and can be set to a sub folder under your portal directory.


Note: The upload location is relative to where the form will be installed, so when creating your form be sure you know where it will be installed so as not to disrupt or misplace the files that are uploaded using this control

Data Grid

The datagrid control is a feature to display groups of information in a list, where each row represents a datarow in the result set. The values can be defined by other fields on the form, and saved using a button control that is set to “Save Fields into Database”. This allows a data entry person to enter in many rows of data, and group this data based on which form it was entered into.

This setting will bring up a blank browser window, open the specified URL, and allow the user to return to the form at their discretion by leaving the current window open.
