Provide file upload

Description of the example

(This example is based on the"Provide files for download" example)

In this example, the citizen portal should provide the option of submitting or uploading documents or files.

A "Upload document" button is implemented for this purpose.

After the user has clicked on the "Upload document" button, a dialog is displayed. In this dialog, the user can search for documents on their computer and then upload them.

The documents are uploaded directly to DRACOON after clicking on the "Upload" button.

Procedure - step-by-step

Add input page for the file upload

Create an input page below the external data group "DracoonDocuments".

(In our example, we use the page wizard.)

1. Start the page wizard.

   

2. Select the "Input page" area.

3. Click on "Next".

4. Assign a title for the input page ("Upload").

5. Click on "Next".

6. Add the data fields "file" and "name".

   (The data field "name" is a mandatory field in DRACOON)

   

7. Click on "OK".

   The edit page will now appear in the application.

   Store the "parentId" parameter on the page

   The "parentId" parameter refers to the ID of your upload folder. At the same time, "parentId" is a data field that is contained by default in the connector data group "DracoonDataSpace", which is used in this example. To do this, compare the "DracoonDataSpace" data group section.

8. Open the properties of the input page.

9. Switch to the "Parameters" tab.

10. Click on the icon.

11. Select "Parameters".

    

12. Enter the value "parentId" in the "Name" field. (Note the spelling.)

    

13. Enter the ID of your upload folder as the fallback value.

    You can find the ID in the URL of your DRACOON Web App.

    

    If you click on a data room or folder with the mouse, the ID is displayed at the end of the URL. The ID always follows "/node/".

    

14. Click on "OK".

Set up the "Save" button

1. Click on the "Save" element.

2. Switch to the "Actions" tab.

3. Click on the "Parameters" menu item.

4. Select the "parentId" parameter.

5. Click on the arrow next to the plus icon .

6. Select "Fallback value".

   

7. Select the "Parameters" option in the right-hand area ().

8. Select the "parentId" value in the "Parameter" selection field ().

   

9. Click on "OK".

   The application looks like this:

   (The "Delete" button has been removed.)

   

Insert "Upload document" button

1. Switch to the "Overview" page.

2. Drag and drop the "Button" element onto the "Overview" page.

3. Select the "Text" entry on the "General" tab.

4. Enter the text "Upload document" in the "Title" field.

   

5. Switch to the "Actions" tab.

6. Select the "Upload" page as the jump target.
