Is there a way to pull in a file from the File List into a page?

Michela Baca_gwf1e5

For example, if I have an excel sheet saved in my file list but also want to display that file on a page, is there a way to do that?

I have been attaching the file to the page and using the Edit with Excel option. However, with this method, I am not able to find how to look at previous versions of that file, like you would see in the File list.

Any Advice?

Thanks

Michela

Hi Michela,

The File List uses the Attachments macro:

File List Blueprint

The File List blueprint template uses the attachments macro. You can customize the macro to change the sort order or hide features such as version history and the upload attachment fields.

You can display the latest version of the file by editing the page and clicking the plus sign in the toolbar as described in Display Files and Images. There isn't a way to render the previous versions in the page, but you can still download them by clicking in the file list.

Please let me know if I understand the case properly and whether the documentation is helpful.

Thanks,

Ann

Hi Ann,

Thank you for the feedback. Based on the documentation, it seems like I should be able to attach a file from the File List, but I don't see the option. The only option is to pull a file from another page.

This would be a great feature enhancement. I will see if I can reference the File list page and see if that works.

Thanks

Michela

Hi Michela,

if the file list is pulling the attachments from a different page you may still embed the attachment as a thumbnail by following: Insert a file attached to another page.

To verify to which page the files in the file list are attached, you may edit the page where the file list is displayed and then edit the attachments macro. The page the files are attached to will be displayed when you edit the macro:

I hope that is useful.

Thanks,

Hi Ann,

I reviewed the File List page and it was blank for the Page title. But I was able to reference the file in question when I pulled in the attachment from the file list page. I have not tested what happens when there are multiple files in the file list, that is next.

I think being able to attach a file to page, selecting the file from the list of files that have been added to the File List (blueprint) would be a good addition.

thank you

Michela
