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.
