Tips

Permission Set to Query All Files

If you are in a FirmWorks Files component and think you may not be seeing all Files in your search criteria, that could be the case! You mmy need to give you or a sub set of your users a specific permission.

NOTE: This permission can assigned to Users with View All Data permission and it will allow the user the ability to query ContentDocument and ContentVersion and retrieve all files in the org. Please be careful who you give this permission to

In order to enable this follow the Salesforce article here: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000381258&type=1

Salesforce Images Low Quality Render

Occasionally Salesforce will render poor quality images of a document (for instance a pdf)

Poor Quality Image

Luckily Salesforce provides a way to regenerate images.

  1. First we need to get the Content Document Id of the File
    • This can be done in a number of ways - the easiest is to use Salesforce’s file image to open the modal window, navigate to view document and get the id from the url.
    • Find The Content Document Id
  2. Give the content id to an administrator or a someone with access to setup.
  3. From within the setup section
    1. Go to regenerate previews
    2. Enter the id and click ‘Regenerate Preview’
    3. Wait a few minutes for the image to regenerate.
