Downloading a file using an Image control

You should know the name of the file, and the storage bucket containing it for the download. The filename may either be obtained from a process, or located in the storage bucket in Orchestrator.

You can use the following image formats for this procedure:

  • JPEG

  • PNG

  • BMP

  • GIF

  • SVG

  1. Before designing your app, go to Orchestrator. Access the storage bucket containing the file you want to download. Copy the name of the file.
  2. Go to the app where you want to use this feature.
  3. Add a new App variable of the type AppsFile. Name it.
  4. From the MainPage, click the Events tab. Click the Create rule button.
  5. Add a new Download file from Storage bucket rule to the page's Loaded event.
  6. Configure the Download file from Storage bucket rule:
    1. Click on the Storage bucket field. In the newly opened Resources menu, add the storage bucket containing the file you want to download into the field.
