Multiple file types can be specified in a comma-separated list format by listing the media type followed by a forward slash (
/), the extension type, a comma, and repeating the pattern. - You can use the wildcard syntax (
*) to allow any extension or file type. - Uploaded files are stored in the survey's Upload folder within the Files applet.
