Upload files with action buttons in Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.77

This video demonstrates the new file upload feature for action buttons in Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.77.  

This feature allows end users to upload files to be used as a data source for a Turbo Integrator process.  This new capability should be used as a replacement if the classic Turbo Integrator editor widget was being used to support users uploading files as a data source.  The file name can be passed as a string parameter value to the Turbo Integrator process to support different file names.  Assuming a string parameter pFileName the following code can be used in the prolog procedure to set the file data source to the uploaded file.

Thanks Stuart - very useful feature for us. Next is the ability to upload an XLSX and have PAW do the necessary conversions in the background.

@Mark Wragg - looks to be any variable - the linkage is done when assigning the Control Type as File to the parameter.​

Hi Stuart,

thanks for this.

Couple of questions (and apologies if I misunderstood anything or the questions appear dumb),

We have noticed that if you create a process in Architect and then modify it in PAW the process can become corrupted.
Am I correct in thinking that this feature should only be applied to processes that were originally created in PAW?

Does it go without saying that pFileName is now a sort of reserved parameter name that should be avoided in processes?

regards,

Mark
