General
Name
Adelia guide word of the field.
Type
Adelia type of the field.
Possible values:
Alphanumerical,
Image.
Length
Adelia length of the field.
This field is only visible with alphanumerical fields.
File directory
Path to the transferred file's destination directory (on the Web application server).
For reasons of compatibility between operating systems, it is important to use the / character as the directory separator (not \).
The specified directory can be either:
- Relative (beginning with . or ..). In this case, the directory is specified relative to the root directory of your Web application (e.g. c:\Tomcat\webapps\MyWebApp),
- Absolute. In this case, it points to a directory in the Web application server's file system.
The directory is created if it does not already exist.
If this field is left blank, the destination directory will be your Web application's root directory.
This field is only visible with alphanumerical fields.
File name
Name of the file (on the Web application server) that contains the uploaded file. This field lets you rename the uploaded file.
If this field is left blank, the name of the file selected by the user is kept.
File type
Permitted file extension types for file upload operations.
A file extension can be defined:
- Either by its MIME type (e.g. application/pdf),
- or by its literal name preceded by "*." (e.g. *.pdf).
It is possible to specify multiple extensions, provided they are separated by a comma (e.g. application/pdf,*.txt).
If this field is left blank, all file extensions are permitted (equivalent to *.*).
The extension control is performed by the browser when an event is executed.
