File Upload field

The File Upload field type allows users to upload a file attachment that is stored in this field. The file will be opened in a new browser window when clicked by the user.

The following properties can be defined while creating a File Upload field:

Field Properties
- Field Label — (mandatory) is displayed on the left from the field on view, edit, and new record pages.
- View Header — (optional) is used in headers of views and reports. If not specified, the Field Label is used.
- View Width — (optional) is used to set width (in pixels or %) of columns in views and reports. If not specified, the browser calculates the width of columns automatically.
- Default Size — The default size of the input field shown in forms (you can override this default as a page-level property using the page editor).
- Maximum File Size — Specify a maximum size for files, from 128KB up to 2MB.
  
  Check Make files publicly accessible if you want the content of uploaded file be accessible without checking for a valid login session and user's access rights. If you upload a different file to a field that is publicly accessible, the URL for that file does not change.
Advanced Field Properties — For more information, see Advanced field properties.
Integration Name — The integration name is used to reference this field via merge fields or with Platform APIs.
Field-Level Help — The Field-Level Help box allows you to define help text for the field that will appear in a popup when the user clicks the help icon next to the field.

If the IsPDFAnnotationEnabled field is set to true in the System Console > System > Shared Properties > General > Add/Remove Features, the Enable PDF Annotation checkbox assoicated with the File Upload field is visible to enable the PDF editor function on the PDF files.

Note: When editing a File Upload or Image Upload file that holds a previously uploaded file, you have an option to delete that file. This action cannot be undone, even if you cancel the entire record edit operation.
