### Example: Uploading a File to a Specified Location

In this example, we explain how to perform a file upload operation at a specified location using the **Upload File** action.

* **Action**: Upload File
* **Input Value**: C:\Users\Documents;Sample.pdf;2
  * The file path (**C:\Users\Documents**) specifies the folder path where the file is located.
  * The file name (**Sample.pdf**) represents the name of the file to be uploaded.
  * The wait (**2**) defines the wait time (in seconds) before initiating the upload operation.
* **Output Value**: {Status}
  * The result of the double click operation is stored in this **{Status}** dynamic variable with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the file is uploaded successfully.
    * **False**: If the file is not uploaded successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Upload File** action takes the value from the **Input Value** column (**C:\Users\Documents;Sample.pdf;2**) and uploads the specified file (Sample.pdf) from the given path after waiting for the defined duration (2 seconds). The outcome of this operation is stored in the **{Status}** variable as true.
