[Resolved] Upload Data File tool; only in Dev Studio?
Hi Team,

In Dev Studio, you can go to an app folder, right click on \Master Files\ and choose Upload Data File. You get a wizard that lets you browse for a file, such as an XLS or a CSV, define the structure and where to put it. When the wizard is finished, you end up with a text file and a master file to read the data from the text file. Very civilized.

Now, I've got a situation where my Production environment is not accessible through Dev Studio. I need to upload a new version of the spreadsheet using only the web-based tools, such as the reporting server or the MRE servlet application. Is there any way I can trigger the upload data file utility from one of these web tools, or is it a 100% Dev Studio only feature?

Cheers,

Joey

Try this.
1. Go to Prod Environment Dashboard.
2. Navigate to My Reports -> Custom reports.
3. Right click on Custom Report and you will get Upload file option.
4. User can upload Data file on to WFRS.

I believe above option is available only to Power Users authorization.
