Advanced file upload support

Easyform supports the following advanced file upload features:

• Limit number of files

• Limit file size

• Limit file types

• Retry failed uploads

• Preview files prior to upload

• Rename files prior to upload

• File specific and form level progress bars

Here's an example form with file uploads in action:

Limit uploads to a single file

To limit uploads to a single file, select the file field and turn on the the Limit to single file setting:

Limit uploads to a specific number of files

Select the file field and enter a number in the Max files setting:

Limit the file size

By default, easyform imposes the same limit that monday imposes on file size, which is a maximum file size of 500MB.

To enforce a smaller limit, enter the limit in MB in the Max file size setting:

Limit to specific file types

You can limit the type of files uploaded to:

• Any image file

• Any video file

• Any audio file

• Specific file types based on the file's extension. You can either select an extension from the predefined extensions list or enter an extension of your own.

• Any combination of categories (image, video, audio) and file extensions

Note: The file types limit:

1. Will control the files displayed in the operating's system's file selection dialog

2. Will be enforced by easyform

To limit to specific file types, select one or more categories or extensions:

Or add your own by typing it and pressing enter:

Form filling specific features

Retrying uploads

Due to the way the monday api works, files are uploaded to the file column after the form submission was created in the board. If one or more uploads fail, the user can retry and upload the files to the created monday item. This may happen due to API rate limitations imposed by monday on your account. Here's how it will look:

Renaming files prior to uploads

A user filling the form can rename a file prior to uploading it so that the file name in the monday board will be different than the file name in the user's operating system. Here's an example:

Preview image files prior to upload

Image files added to an upload field, can be previewed to make sure they're the right file(s), by clicking on the file's thumbnail:

If the user added multiple image files, they can go through them easily:
