Files Widget

PreviousFiles FAQNextGreetings

Last updated 5 months ago

Overview

The Files Widget provides an intuitive and configurable way to display and access files and folders across various modules. This feature supports personalized content, dynamic visibility, and improved performance, ensuring an optimal user experience.

This widget can be viewed from the Home module, Company and Team Pages, and News feed RHS panel.


Configuration Options

The widget offers multiple configuration options to suit diverse needs. Users can adjust the content view through the Set Properties pop-up menu. If editing permissions are restricted, the view can be modified by clicking the Filter option in the widget's top-right corner.

Default View

Select the default view of the widget from pre-configured options: Most Discussed, Most Liked, Most Viewed, Pinned, Recently Accessed By Me, Recently Added, or Selected Folder.

Most Discussed: This view will display a bar graph of the Files with the most Comments

Selected Folder: This view allows administrators and users to choose a folder or file node from categories like Project Files, Group Files, Department Files, Opportunity Files, or the Network Drive, ensuring that only relevant content is displayed. The resulting hierarchical folder tree mirrors the structure and permissions visible in the Files module, allowing users to select nodes based on their access levels.


Content Type Options

For Selected Folder default view only. Filter files by type (e.g., Documents, PDFs, Videos) with multi-select checkboxes or default to All content types for broader access.


User Experience

Permission-Based Content

  • Displays only items accessible to the user (based on View or View-Only permissions).

  • Items are sorted alphabetically (A–Z), with folders appearing before files.

Folder Display

  • Folder names are displayed in full width, accompanied by the last updated timestamps shown in the user's locale.

  • Clicking a folder opens its link in a new tab.

  • If a permission error occurs, an appropriate banner message is displayed.

File Display

  • Clicking a file opens it in the correct viewer.

  • Permission errors trigger a banner message, providing clear feedback to the user.
