Auto submitting a SAIL form after user uploads a file

soumyab103 over 7 years ago

Is there a way to automatically submit the SAIL form after user browses and uploads a file? We have a SAIL form where user can upload a file (In Appian Knowledge Center), and then clicks on a submit (Upload) button to submit the form. Our requirement is we need to avoid this additional user clicks, and if the form can be auto-submitted after user clicks on Browse and uploads the file, that would be ideal. Thanks in advance.

@soumayab - I may not be understanding fully, so please clarify if this is off base. But could you not have a file upload field within an editable grid? That way, the user clicks browse, they see the uploaded file in the grid, they tag any necessary additional attributes in the other columns, upload other files similarly, and then submit. Then it writes the documents to the knowledge center first, and then saves that Id to the row of attributes.
The only potential downside of this plan would be that the user cannot actually download the uploaded file real time - they would have to leave the sail form to convert it from a completed doc upload field to a document link field. Thoughts?
