wd_wcptag: fileUploaderRow
---
Displays a row for each file attachment on the `fileUploader` tag.
Use `fileUploaderRow` on view and edit pages.
`fileUploaderRow` is a child tag of the `fileUploader` tag. The `getChildren` and `getRows` methods of `fileUploader` return `fileUploaderRow` instances, which enable you to access their `fileName` property.
See the [fileUploader](/wcp_docs/icc1518036830536.html) tag for usage and examples.
## Mobile Support
Android, iOS
## Attributes
- allowRemove
Data type: binding-Boolean
Indicates whether or not users can delete the attachment. If you set `allowRemove` to true, specify the `deleteEndPoint` attribute on `fileUploader`.
- attachment
Data type: attachmentList
Specifies an `attachmentList` tag that represents an attachment instance. See [attachmentList](/wcp_docs/kwi1512515794634.html).
- contentArea
Data type: list of tags
An array containing widgets that display on `fileUploaderRow` that preloads files using upon page load. Use this area to display information about the file. Example:
```
"contentArea": [
{
"type": "text",
"label": "File description:",
"value": "<% attachment.descriptor %>",
"enabled": "<% false %>"
}
]
```
- enabled
Data type: dynamicBinding-Boolean
If true, users can enter values on the widget. If false, users can only view the widget.
- fileName
Data type: binding-String
Name that displays for the attachment file.
- fileSize
Data type: number
The numeric size of the attachment file.
- fileSource
Data type: binding-EndPoint
A deferred endpoint that returns the file.
If you specify `fileSource`, the page load caches the file content on the server. When the user submits the page, it also submits the file to the outbound endpoint.
- fileType
Data type: binding-String
The type of the file, which determines the appropriate file type icon to display. If blank, fileUploaderRow uses the default icon. Available icons include PDF, Word, Excel, PPT. Example: A fileType of "application/pdf" or ".pdf" renders a PDF icon.
- id
Data type: binding-String
Unique identifier used to reference this widget from other tags.
Notes:
- The `id` must start with a letter.
- The `id` must be unique per page.
- To enable other widgets to reference this widget `id`, place this widget before the other widgets on the PMD. The PMD validation returns an "Undefined variable" error if it doesn't find a previously defined `id` in the PMD.
- Workday recommends that you include the `id` in your tag definitions for debugging purposes.
- render
Data type: binding-Boolean
If true, this tag renders as a widget on the page. If false, the loaded page doesn't add this tag or its children. The default is true.
Unlike the `visible` attribute, when `render` is false, other tags on the page can't reference this tag or widget on edit pages. On view pages, a tag can't reference other tags regardless of the `render` attribute value.
- uploadedDate
Data type: date
Displays the day or time when the user uploaded the file. This sample uses the `date:getTodaysDate` function, which returns the current date at 12:00 am. If a user uploads the file at 10:00 am, `uploadedDate` displays "10 hours ago".
```
"uploadedDate": {
"type": "date",
"id": "todaysDate",
"value": "<% date:getTodaysDate(null) %>"
}
```
## PMD Scripting Methods
- getContentArea(int index)
Return type: `List`
Description: Returns a list of widgets that represent custom information about the file on the row. Specify the index of the tag based on its position in the `contentArea[]` of the `fileUploaderRow`. You can use this method (or the equivalent `contentArea` property) to:
- Get or dynamically update the widgets in the `contentArea` of an existing `fileUploaderRow` instance.
- Dynamically update the widgets in the `contentArea` of a new row using the `fileUploaderRowTemplate` attribute of `fileUploader`.
Note: The `contentArea` attribute of `fileUploaderRow` contains tags that render custom information. The `getContentArea(index)` method doesn't apply to the `fileName` attribute of `fileUploaderRow`.
In this sample `fileUploader`, the `contentArea` of an existing row contains a text tag that displays file information. The `onChange` event on a separate text tag updates the file information in the `contentArea`.
```
{
"type": "fileUploader",
"id": "myFileUploader1",
"label": "My FileUploader with an Attachment",
"fileTypes": "*",
"children": [
{
"type": "fileUploaderRow",
"allowRemove": false,
"attachment": {
"type": "attachmentList",
"instanceList": [
{
"descriptor": "abc.txt",
"action": "attachment",
"mimeType": "text/plain"
}
],
"attachmentUriTemplate": "[Target]",
"attachmentURL": "http://www.workday.com",
"attachmentName": "abc.txt",
"attachmentAuth": "sso"
},
"fileName": "abc.txt",
"fileType": "text/plain",
"contentArea": [
{
"type": "text",
"id": "fileInfo",
"label": "File comment"
}
]
}
]
},
{
"type": "text",
"id": "fileInfoUpdate",
"onChange": "<% myFileUploader1.rows[0].contentArea[0].value = self.value; %>"
}
```
In the above example, when a user enters information in the fileInfoUpdate text widget, its `onChange` event handler calls `getContentArea` on the first row, gets the `contentArea` of the first widget, and updates its value with the user input.
In this next example, the `fileUploaderRowTemplate` creates the `contentArea` of a new row on the fileUploader. The `onChange` event on a text widget in the `contentArea` dynamically sets the value of another text widget:
```
{
"type": "fileUploader",
"id": "myFileUploader2",
"label": "My FileUploader 2",
"fileTypes": "*",
"fileUploaderRowTemplate": [
{
"type": "text",
"label": "Comments",
"id": "comments1",
"onChange": "<% comments2.value = self.value; %>",
"required": true
},
{
"type": "text",
"label": "More comments",
"id": "comments2",
"required": true
}
]
}
```
- getFileName()
Return type: `string`
Description: Returns the name of the file on the `fileUploaderRow`.
