File Action

A File Action allows a user to download a file that you upload to the platform. The file may be of any type (pdf, word doc, gif, etc) up to 10 Mb. (We caution against using large files because they can slow your app's load  time.)

After selecting the File Action type, drag and drop or upload the target file.

Or check the"Pull from Data Tab" option to cause the Action to pull the File from the app's database, located in the app's Data tab.

There are two additional options:

Offline mode - Choose if you want the file to be stored on the user's device and available offline. 

Embed on Card - Choose this option if you have an audio file and you want an audio player to appear in your app.

Reference the Action Formatting and Controls FAQ for a refresher on the controls that are common to Actions.

For PDFs, the app has a built in reader and print function.
