Import attached documents into FA

You can import documents that have been uploaded via forms linked in the process under a contact, portfolio, transaction, trade order, security, contract or in a specific folder in FA document library. You can also add tags to the document that can be used, for example, to signal an FA Back process to send the document out to a client. To do so, check out Import user-uploaded files with file component, then follow the steps below:

  1. Add Service task to the process.

  2. In the component properties, define Delegate expression to be ${files}.

  3. Configure the Class fields as described in the table.

    Note

    Note that the ID and documentFolder fields are mutually exclusive. If you define more than one, the field appearing first on this table will determine the import location. To import the same document under another object/folder, you need to add another ${files} service task in your process.
