Geoprocessing widget in Web Map App: Input???

[NikolausPruzsinszky]

I am trying to use a geoprocessing widget in a web map app. The tool needs a .csv as input. In the app, I always have to enter the full unc path manually to the input field in order to make it work. How can I get the usual file selctor (leading to dome explorer-like window)?

Hi Nikolaus,

Assuming the GP Service is published from a model, could you edit it to include a "folder" variable which is set as a parameter. 

Insert - Create Variable -- Folder (scroll down till you see folder). You can then make the tool point to that folder as its input. 

Not sure if this will work but it's worth a try.

You'll want to set the parameter type to "File" and then enable the "Uploads" capability on the GP service.  That'll let you upload a file to the GP service when executing it.

Converting the model to a script and adding scripttool based on this script with appropriate configuration of the input parameters and then republishing it solved the problem. Not possible with models
