New Feature

This feature is enhanced in Joget DX to support image resizing options

Introduction

File Upload enables you to attach a file to a form.

 File uploaded through the File Upload is stored under "[Joget Installation Directory]/wflow/app_formuploads".

How to set to a different storage path?

There are 2 ways you can change the wflow folder path:
1. By adding "-Dwflow.home=PATH" to your JAVA_OPTS when starting tomcat.
2. By setting the "Uploaded File Storage Base Path" option in General Settings.

  1. Start the Joget Server and open the App Center.

  2. Log in as admin and click on the pencil icon on the Expenses Claim to open the App Composer (see Figure 1).
