Content Types
Uploading a Report Document
You can upload a report document (that you have previously created, for instance with a Create Report Document Action) by setting the Content Type to Report Document. An additional property Content will be available where you can select the report document you want to upload. The Remote Path property must return the relative path instance including the file name (but excluding the file extension).
Uploading an External File
You can upload an external file by setting the property Content Type to External File. A new property Content Path will be available which is an Expression that evaluates to a string that contains a local or UNC file path to the external file to upload. The Remote Path property must return the relative path including the file name (but excluding the file extension).
Uploading a File Collection
You can upload all files of a File Collection by setting the property Content Type to File Collection. A new property Content will be available where you can select the file collection to upload. The Remote Path property must return the relative path but must not include any file name, because the file names of the content of the file collections will be used for the upload.
Uploading a Zipped File Collection
You can upload a ZIP file that contains all files of a File Collection by setting the property Content Type to Zipped File Collection. A new property Content will be available where you can select the file collection to zip and upload. The Remote Path property must return the relative path including the file name of the uploaded ZIP file (but excluding the file extension).
