Upload and preview file

The Upload and preview file widget allows users to add a file and view the file contents on a form of a task or an app item.

Besides, by default, the widget contains Download and Edit buttons. They allow you to edit, download to your computer, and print the added file.

Configure the widget

By default, the widget is added to forms of the Document type app.

To configure the widget, drag it to the canvas from the right panel of the interface designer or click + Widget. To learn more, see Form templates.

Fill out the settings in the pop-up.

Main tab

• File*. Specify a File context variable. Click <Not defined> and select a variable from the list.
• Show the “Edit” button. Enable the option to add the button to the object form.
• Show the “Print” button. Check the option to make the button appear on the object form. If watermark printing is enabled in the app settings, the option in the widget is checked by default and the button appears on the view form.

Events and System tabs

These tabs are similar for all widgets. They allow you to set the widget’s visibility and access permissions, configure the widget’s behavior when the user hovers over it, etc. To learn more about these settings, see System widget settings.

To finish configuration, click Save.

To make the changes available to the users, click Save and then Publish in the top toolbar.
