Download a File Using a Link
Make sure that you know the name of the file you want to download and the storage bucket it is in. The filename can come from a process, or you can find it in the storage bucket in Orchestrator.
- Go to the app where you want to use the this feature.
- Create a new page called Download page.
- Add a new Label control in the Download
page and configure it.
3.1 Rename it to Download file.
3.2 Change the style of the Label control so the user can easily tell that it's a downloadable link. We recommend using italics and blue. For more tips on how to create the best design, see General User Experience Guidelines.
3.3 Add a new Get file from Storage bucket rule when clicked on the Download file control and configure it:- Pick the storage bucket
containing the file you want to download.
-
Go to the storage bucket in Orchestrator and copy the name of the file you need to download. Paste the name in the File Name field.
-
Add a new variable in the Assign file to app variable field.
- Set the downloaded file name
in the When completed section using the Set Values rule. When
downloaded in the local machine, the file will have the name set using this
rule.
- Add a new Open Url rule in the When completed field and fill in the Url field with the variable from the Assign file to app variable field.
Figure 1. .
- Pick the storage bucket
containing the file you want to download.
