XML

XML list type allows to create items list by querying data from a XML file. Data is read via XPath query language.

Path

Info

Browse allows to upload the XML file to the server, this operation stores the XML file in the local Scanshare data folder.

For security and privacy reasons the filename is always referring to the Scanshare data folder and not to a full absolute path. Do not insert absolute paths which will generate instead an error.
