Read & Import from Directory
Question
Hi all,
Is it possible to read/open/import files (.xls) directly from a directory without the need for manually importing them into the application?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
RP

Hi Rui,
Here is a link to another post where there is an extension for what you need:

I've used it and it works very well. Depending on what you want to do with the file you might also need the "BinaryData" extension.
Hope it helps,

Hi Rui,
You might want to check out the
File System
extension component
. This component gives you interfaces to manage files and folders in the FileSystem. Particularly, you can manage (create, delete, update) files in shared folder.

Thanks.
Best regards.
