File upload Default file upload control

Set the default file upload control for the form. The default file upload control must be selected if there is more than one File upload control in the form. Select the default control from the drop-down list.

Orphaned or unallocated files for the item, which are files previously attached to the item without an associated File upload control, or files that are uploaded outside of Nintex Forms are displayed in the default file upload control.

When there is only one File upload control in the form that will automatically be set as the default and this setting will be disabled. When there is more than one File upload control in the form the setting is enabled for you to select a File upload control.

Form consumption Assigned use

Set the default publish location.

  • Production: Intended for production use. Counts as a production form under your subscription license entitlement.
  • Development: Intended for testing and development use only. Counts as a development form under your subscription license entitlement.
Rule settings N/A

Specify when you want the values set for form controls in rules to run. Select from one of the following options:

  • Run change value actions only when the user interacts with the form: This is the default option, and when selected the form control values set in a rule will run only when the user starts filling the form.

  • Run change value actions when the form loads and when the user interacts with the forms: When selected the form control values set in a rule will run when the form loads (view mode) and in edit mode.

Non- connected controls Use Control Name when saving form item

Turn on this toggle to store control data using the control name instead of the GUID. By default, non-connected controls or controls that aren't directly linked to a SharePoint column, are stored in form data using their unique control GUID.

To simplify the management of non-connected controls through modifying the form data directly, you can choose to store their data using the control's name instead of the GUID by turning this setting on.

Important: If a control name is changed after list items have already been created using that name, those previous items will no longer display the control's value unless you manually update the control's name in the form data.
