Self Help - Form Utils Connector
This connector is used to upload a file from a form field. It is usually an intermediate connector used together with other connectors, e.g. the uploaded file will subsequently be processed by another connector.
- A unique ID is assigned to each uploaded file.
- The ID is stored in the library variable associated with the form field.
- The uploaded files can then be manipulated by the connector using their ID.
