Overview

The File component in noKodr allows users to upload and store various types of files directly within Salesforce objects. This functionality supports a wide range of file formats, including images, PDFs, Word documents, videos, XML files, and JSON data.

For example, in a Salesforce application for project management, the File component might be used to attach project-related documents, such as project plans (PDFs), design drafts (images), and meeting notes (Word documents) to the corresponding project records. This ensures that all project-related files are readily available and linked to the relevant records, facilitating better organization and collaboration.

Note: Here, users can upload one file at a time.
