  • 1.  Save Excel file to custom location

    Posted May 05, 2015 10:05 AM

    Hi All

    I need some help regarding saving a excel file to a custom location that is choosen by the end-user.

    I have so far used the "Write excel component" and "Write File component".

    This have not given me the desired result.

    I need to give the user a save option, so the can place the file in a custom folder on the desktop/laptop for additional work in excel later on.

    Hope someone can guide me in the right direction for a soution ?

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you mean that you want the user to be able to save the file to their local computer rather than the workflow server. If that's the case, then you would want to use a download file computer from within a form builder. There are multiple types of download components, but a search of "download" in the component list will list them for you.

    Edit: It occurs to me to point out that you shouldn't need to save the file first as the download components want file data type variables as their input, not paths to server-side files.
