File fields

File fields

  • Type
    If ‘image/photo’, the system will only accept image files and reject any others which the user tries to upload. Additionally, photo of a person enables an extra use. If a field is set to this and is moved to the top of the form, it will display smaller in a style that works for peoples’ photos, e.g. like a LinkedIn bio.

  • Image resolution
    Allows you to save on storage space (and therefore the monthly bill) by automatically downsizing any images uploaded. This is becoming more useful as phone camera resolutions increase

  • Template and View to Use
    These allow the system to generate a PDF document based on a template which is uploaded to a view. Documents can then be generated by the user pressing a button, or automatically by a workflow

  • Paper size and footer style
    Specify options for generated PDF documents (see above). If specified, footers will contain a filename, taken from the first field in the template view chosen, and a page number.
