Upload files to a Planning Analytics database with the action button
In Planning Analytics Workspace books, the Action Button has a new property, Allow file upload, that lets you upload a file to a Planning Analytics database and run a process to use that file. This can be helpful if you want to, for example, import data from a specific file into a view you are using.

When you configure an action button to run a process (under ), selecting Allow file upload prompts you to upload a file when you click the Action Button.

A new Control Type parameter, File, is now also available under Set parameters. This new parameter displays only when the Allow file upload property is selected.

The File control type passes the file name of the uploaded file to the process parameter.
