Issue/Request:
Hi. Last year, we started a summer program here and we had students apply for it using a YaleSites Webform. We had them each upload a few different documents as part of the application.
Is there any way to do a batch download of all such documents, or for me to somehow access the directory that the files are in so I can retrieve them any other way than the way I did last year, which was to go into each webform submission and click on each link individually to download each file separately, which was very time-consuming for the large volume of applications we got last year? We would like to improve this for next year, if possible, especially as we are expecting even larger numbers of applicants.
Thank you,
Victoria.
Hello Victoria,
Al though you probably are able to create a view that can compile a list of all such files, there is no batch download option. That functionality does not exist in Drupal. Alternatively the location of the files in Drupal is not accessible to the end user.
