File Upload

Overview

Key: “accelerator_file-upload”

The File Upload Widget is another tool that we provide for Accelerators to create What-If scenarios. This feature allows you to select files that are already located in a specific directory on the server side, and use them to create the What-If branch.

Some of the use cases that we’ve had in the past for this widget are:

• Creating What-If branches with new sensitivities
• Creating What-If branches with different parameters
• Changing datastore configurations
• Uploading ‘scenarios’ as What-Ifs. Files part of a specific scenario can be organized in a single grouping and sent to the UI to be selected that way.
• Group topics and their relative files to be selected as part of What-Ifs.

The user will be able to select the topic of the files that they wish to upload.

They will then will be presented with a tree of files corresponding to that topic.

The user can give a name to the new What-If branch, and create the What-If.

This widget requires both a whitelist and a settings object to work properly.
