Upload Handling
When a user submits data from a form or add screen, the application can await upload status before it allows further user interaction; or it can immediately return the user to the next workflow screen pending upload execution. In the second case, the user gets an informational message when the AppServer returns with upload status.
You determine the desired behavior by setting the view property Upload Mode, which specifies whether upload operations are synchronous or asynchronous. Various scenarios determine how you set a screen's upload mode:
- Users want to be sure that upload requests are successful before they navigate away from the screen. In this case, specify a synchronous upload mode.
- Immediate confirmation is not important; users want to continue with other work after submitting an upload. In this case, set the view's upload mode to asynchronous.
- When coverage is available, upload requests should be processed synchronously. If coverage is unreliable, upload requests should be queued so users can continue with other work, and processed when coverage is restored.
 | For information specific to uploading from a client's local sync datastore, see Local data storage and synchronization. |
