File Widget

1) In designing a report, you may need to upload and download files, which can be achieved by adding a File widget in a certain cell.

2) The File widget is a data entry widget. The widget only works in the Data Entry Preview and Enhanced Data Entry Preview modes. The parameter interface does not support the widget.

3) Firefox and Chrome browsers support selecting multiple files for upload in parallel, while IE browser only supports selecting one file for upload. Previously uploaded files will not be covered by latest uploaded ones.

4) The File widget should be used in combination with the File Upload and Download plug-in. Please contact our technical support (support@fanruan.com) to get the plug-in. For more information about plug-in installation, please see Install Plugins Manually.

5) For more information about other attributes, please see [Report Widget] Text Field.
