**Example: Uploading a File to the Target Application Window**

In this example, we explain how to perform a file upload operation in the target application window by providing the required file path, file name, and wait time.

* **Action**: Upload File to Application
* **Input Value**: C:\Documents;report.pdf;5
  * The first argument (**C:\Documents**) specifies the folder path where the file is located.
  * The second argument (**report.pdf**) specifies the name of the file to be uploaded.
  * The third argument (**5**) specifies the wait time (in seconds) allowed for the upload operation to complete.
* **Output Value**: {Status}
  * The result of the upload operation is stored in the **{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 to Application** action reads the folder path, file name, and wait time from the **Input Value** column (e.g., **C:\Documents;report.pdf;5**). The action locates the specified file in the provided folder path and attempts to upload it to the target application during execution. The wait time determines how long the action should wait for the upload process to complete. The result of the upload operation (**True**) is stored in the **{Status}** variable.
