The file upload control allows you to attach any file into your UniPhi document. Files may be uploaded regardless of their file format. This object provides for a single file to be uploaded in the step. For multiple file uploads use the next object File Upload (Multi). The difference is that more than one file can be uploaded by using the Ctrl click or Shift click options as with a normal Windows selection process.
