Specify the title of File Dialog window and the initial folder for file path. Save File Dialog Action shows the standard File Dialog window with custom title and requires user to enter a file name. The file itself can be either existing or non-existing.
After entering the file name, the path and filename is stored as variable that can be retrieved by any subsequent Action by using Variable Wizard. The Save File Dialog Action does not itself save any files, however it is a useful tool for proper file name input in the middle of automated processes.
| Dialog | Details |
|---|---|
| Title | Set custom title for File Dialog window. |
| Initial folder | Choose the folder in which to create reference to necessary file. Initially opened folder can be changed in File Dialog window by easily browsing to any other available folder or even creating a new one. |
| Default file name | The filename which will be offered as a default choice when showing Save file dialog window to user. |
| Test this dialog | Press the Test button to display the Save file dialog in its current configuration. Note that only retrievable Variable Wizard values will be filled in when testing the Save file dialog window (variables that depend on execution of preceding Trigger or Actions will return empty variable content). |
| Browse |  Use Browse to select a particular file or folder on local disk, network share on LAN (local area network), etc. |
| Variable Wizard |  Use dynamic data input—substitute a parameter from a file, web, connected Trigger, other Actions, date and time presets, etc. |
Interconnect
- Save File Dialog integration and auditing—Variables (dynamic data) and Events (recorded activity). Access the full path and filename selected by the user, including separate variables for the folder, filename, button selected, and dialog title. Events signifying the success or failure of the filename selection process are automatically logged.
Note
- Always force placing new windows in the foreground (above all other windows). See simple instructions for a fix—New program window appears behind all other open windows.
