Guide Section: GUI of EASAPs | EASAP Tree: USER INTERFACE Branch
FILE CHOICE creates a data entry box for users to identify a local file to be used within an EASAP. In some cases, an EASAP will require that the user specify and upload a particular type of file as input, such as a spreadsheet. To upload a file, the user must first click on the browse button and then locate and select their file.
Note: The uploaded files should have their file extensions written with lower case letters (e.g. Sample.jpg
will work Sample.Jpg
will cause unexpected behaviour).
