The Options tab of the Write to File Action allows specifying output file encoding and overwriting settings.
| Options | Details |
|---|---|
| Overwrite file | If selected, an existing file with the same name as the output file will be overwritten with a new one. |
| Append at the end of file | If selected, the contents of the provided text will be appended to an existing file with the same name as the output file. |
| Use Unicode encoding | Specifies that the output file will be saved using Unicode encoding. If the option is disabled, the Write to File Action saves files using language for non-Unicode programs / system locale specified in Regional Settings (also known as ASCII, ANSI, or OEM code page).
|
| Add Unicode header | Add a BOM, or Byte Order Mark, header to the beginning of a file. UTF-16 files usually have a BOM. It signals the endianness of a UTF-16 file. On the other hand, UTF-8 files can skip this mark. The use of a BOM is optional. |
| This Action is enabled | An Action is executed only if it is enabled. Otherwise, it will be automatically skipped (completely ignored) from the Task flow. |
| Use custom display name | Rename this Action, to make a human-readable workflow that will help you to find, read, and make sense of the Task structure later. |
| Advanced fallback options | Manage the advanced fallback options—select which error types will lead to automatic execution of predefined workaround operations. |
| Log only errors | Do not log information and warning messages for this Action. It may be useful to keep the log file small and tidy on production systems. |
