### **Example: Uploading a File to the Target Location in the Application**

In this example, we explain how to upload a file to the required location in the application using the specified file path, file name, and wait time.

* **Action**: Upload a File
* **Input Value**: C:\Users\Documents;TC02.pdf;2
  * The first argument (**C:\Users\Documents**) specifies the folder path where the file is located.
  * The second argument (**TC02.pdf**) specifies the name of the file to be uploaded.
  * The third argument (**2**) specifies the number of seconds the action should wait before performing the upload.
* **Output Value**: {Status}
  * The upload result 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 a File** action reads the details from the **Input Value** column (**C:\Users\Documents;TC02.pdf;2**). It locates the file in the specified directory, waits for the defined duration, and attempts to upload the file to the target location in the application. After the upload operation is completed, the action stores the execution result (**True**) in the **{Status}** variable.
