Files
Put a filtered list of files on a canvas, upload straight to it, and label several at once.
A files widget shows a filtered list of files on the canvas. To make one, see Create a widget; for the shared editor mechanics, see Build a canvas.
Configure it
Like the tasks widget, the files widget is bound to the built-in Files object, so there's no data source to choose. Its editor has three panels:
- Columns picks the file fields the list shows: Name, Labels, Updated By and Updated At. Leave it empty to show them all (the list then reads Name, Labels and Updated).
- Filters & sorting controls which files appear (Filters) and in what order (Sort by).
- Display holds Auto-fit height of canvas, on for a new widget.
Working with the list
In view mode the widget lists the matching files with Filter, Sort and Upload files among its header controls (in its ⋯ on a narrow card), so you can add files without leaving the canvas. The list pages through results with a Rows per page selector and a count in the footer.
Label several files at once
Tick the checkboxes of the files you want to change. The widget then offers Set labels and Clear selection in place of its usual controls (in its ⋯ on a narrow card). Set labels opens a dialog: pick the labels in Choose labels… and click Set labels. The labels you pick replace the files' labels; with none picked, the dialog warns that it will remove every label from them. It reaches the files shown on screen, with the widget's filters and the canvas's context applied.
Export
From the widget's ⋯ menu you can export the displayed files as a CSV (Export chart), or Export card to save the list as a PNG. Expand opens it in a large modal.
Let the widget size itself
The Display panel has an Auto-fit height of canvas switch, on for a new widget. While it is on, the card takes the height its content needs rather than the grid rows you drew, up to a ceiling past which it scrolls. See Build a canvas.
