File Preview

The file preview allows certain file types (PDF, Docx, image files) to be displayed directly in the form. For example, you can display an invoice in one column and have input fields in the adjacent column to check/enter the invoice data.

Configuration​

The following options are available within the configuration:

  • Title:
    Enter the display name of the control element here. This is displayed to the users so that they know which control it is.
  • Internal name:
    The internal name allows you to reference a control in placeholders or rules using a name other than the title. This field does not have to be filled in, but is helpful if you have several controls with the same title in a form.
  • Files:
    With this placeholder, you can define which files are displayed in this control. This could, for example, be an attachment from an incoming Exchange email.
  • Editing tools:
    Here you can specify whether certain file types can be edited directly in the browser. For example, users do not have to download and upload a PDF file first in order to add small annotations.
  • Help text:
    If you enter a value here, a help icon () is displayed next to the control. People can click on this to display the help text. This allows you to give people help on an individual control.

Placeholders​

This control does not provide any placeholders.
