The CHEFS form builder has a 'File Upload' component. This allows someone to attach files or documents when submitting the form.
On this page:
Note: The max size per file for upload is 25MB.
Configuration options
- Multiple files
- Add a label describing the Type of file you want people to upload (eg: 'resume' or 'cover letter')
- File Pattern - we encourage you to enter a list of the allowed file extensions. (For example:
.docx, .doc, .pdf)
Note: File Uploads are limited to forms that use IDIR or BCeID access. This is for security reasons. We’re looking into ways we can allow file uploads on public forms in a future release.
File Storage
Files uploaded via a CHEFS form are saved to a designated space in Object storage. The Object Storage Service is for Ministry and Greater Public Sector clients to store data as objects using standard protocols including S3, NFS, and HTTP. It provides a scalable, secure, fully managed object storage platform with high availability and enterprise features.
