Single Upload-Field for multiple file formats in FME Flow or a Workspace-App

Hi all,

 

for a workspace-app in fme flow, i was asked whether ,and if, how it is possible to have only one upload field for all file types (.xlsx and .dwg), rather than having individual upload fields for each file type. To my knowledge, each reader in the workspace has its own upload-field in flow/the workspace-app and i can only select which are published and which are not.

I tested the “Directory and File Pathnames” Reader and the “Generic” Reader, but the user should not have to select the folder, but each file individually (multiple files at once). This is needed for more user-friendliness.

Hope that explaines the predicament :)

Thank’s for your help!

Cheers.

The Generic reader should be able to deal with multiple files of different formats as input, I think that’s the most convenient way to approach this (so no Directory & File Pathnames reader)
