How is the File System Items Source used in a Dataflow?

A File System Items Source is used to point towards a folder or directory containing multiple files that are to be processed in a flow. In a Dataflow, it is used when we use a source as a transformation to provide a dynamic file path to a source object. It can be either run in singleton mode or in a loop. It requires a file path to the directory where the source files reside. It also provides an option for including items in a subdirectory which, if checked, will include all the files present in the sub-folders.
