Configuring a Record Page Layout

You can add any of the following components to a page layout. Each Component has a series of Design Options you can use to customize each them. To see the design layout use the Component Appendix.

Single Content Record Viewer

1. Configuration:

   1. Content Version Id - Set a Salesforce Content Version Id here to show it in the Component. To get the Content Version Id, please use the following SOQL in Workbench or Developer Console:

2. Appearance:

   1. Max Height: This will set the max height on the component in the page layout. If this is not set the height will be set based on the length of the file referenced.

SELECT Id FROM ContentVersion WHERE ContentDocumentId = ‘<Insert The Salesforce File Id you want to show in the component here>’

File Report Results

1. Appearance:

   1. Title - This will set the title in the top left of the component on the page layout.

   2. Max Height - This will set the max height on the component in the page layout. If this is not set the height will be set based on the number of returned results.

2. Configuration:

   1. Report Name - This is a pick list of all the File Reports on the org for an admin to choose from. To create a new report please review the File Reporting section of the documentation.

3. Behavior:

   1. Auto Run On Load - When this option is checked the report will run when the page loads. This could cause slow downs if the report returns a large amount of records. When this is not checked a user will need to click the reload report icon on the top right of the component to see results.

File Report Runner for Records

1. Appearance:

   1. Title - This will set the title in the top of the component on the page layout.
   2. Background Color - This will allow you to change th3 color of the component’s background to better match your branding or make messages more legible.

2. Configuration:

   1. Record Id - This is used in Experience Cloud (formerly Communities) to set the Record Id for the component to run. Use {!recordId} to pass in the current records Id for context.
   2. Report Name - This is a pick list of all the File Reports on the org for an admin to choose from. To create a new report please review the File Reporting section of the documentation.

3. Behavior:

   1. Report Has Results Status - This is a list of display options to let the configurator decide how the Icon should look when a record is found in the report associated in the Report Name.
   2. Report Without Results Status - This is a list of display options to let the configurator decide how the Icon should look when a record is NOT found in the report associated in the Report Name.
   3. Report Has Results Message - This is a Text field to let the configurator decide how the message should look when a record is found in the report associated in the Report Name. This also also allows for Rich Text, so a configurator can use links, images, and to guide users on how to make the records compliant.
   4. Report Without Results Message - This is a Text field to let the configurator decide how the message should look when a record is NOT found in the report associated in the Report Name. This also also allows for Rich Text, so a configurator can use links, images, and to guide users on how to make the records compliant.
   5. Display Results Documents - If this is checked it will show a button to allow the user to see the documents that were uploaded that allowed the record to be included in the report. If it is not checked it will not show the button.
   6. No Action Message - This is a Text field to let the configurator decide how the message should look when a record is not part of the object filter criteria for the report associated in Report Name.

Setting up a FileViewer Configuration

If you want to use the same configuration for more than one use of the component you can create a FileViewer Configuration. In the App Finder type ‘Configurator’, and select the FileViewer Configurator tab. In order to see this tab a user must have the FileViewer Configuator permission set. To assign a permission set please follow the documentation from Salesforce (https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.perm_sets_assigning.htm).

The configuration steps, seen below, will guide you through all of the following sections. If you choose Show All instead of using the configuration steps the following documentations will guide you through the sections.

Configuration Naming

To create a new Configuration click Add New Configuration on the top right of the app. Click the Configuration to expand it and see the settings. Always start off by giving your configuration a name and deciding if it should be active or inactive.

Use the following two Configuration naming conventions to set defaults for various locations in Salesforce:

1. Object Name verbatim will set that configuration as the default configuration for any of that objects page layouts. Here are some examples:

   Naming the Configuration Account will make that configuration the default when is selected for the 2b. Configuration Name Design Element on an Account page.

   If there was a custom object named Custom_Object__c, naming the Configuration Custom_Object__c configuration would do that same for the Custom_Object__C page.

2. Object Name in all lower case will set that configuration as the default for the Experience Detail Page for that Object. Here are some examples:

Naming the Configuration account will make that configuration the default when is selected for the 2b. Configuration Name Design Element on an Account Detail page in the experience.

If there was a custom object named Custom_Object__c, naming the Configuration custom_object__c configuration would do that same for the Custom_Object__C page.

Regardless of the Configuration name you will see them in the 2b Configuration Name Drop down in the component design.

Display Fields

In this section you can choose tags from the Content Version you want to include as Display Fields on in the Field Options in the FileViewer component. To Add one or more items to the configuration, click an item then use the right pointing arrow to move it to the Selected Section. Once a field has been added to Available To User’s For Display you can default them showing up by checking the Boxes in the Default Show These Fields section.

Filter Fields

In this section you can choose which fields you want to be visible to filter on in the search sidebar in the FileViewer component. In addition, this also determines which fields a user can set when this configuration is referenced in the File Tagger Button for Upload

Content Link Entities

In this section you can choose which Object that could be content document links will be showing when using the Download with Related action. This will enable you to see each way a file is linked to records in your own for the objects selected in this list.

Default Field Values

In this section you can set default field values. when this configuration is referenced in a FileViewer component it ill set the values of the search on load. you will still only see the fields that you chose in the Filter Fields section. This means you can have filters that users may not be able to modify if the field is no present in the Filter Fields section.

When this configuration is referenced in a File Tagger Button for Upload component it will set the default values for the associated tags when a document is uploaded. This will set default values even if the field is not chosen in the Filter Fields to be displayed to the user.

Default Filter

In this section allows you to append a where clause to the search criteria the users input. This is a filter that cannot be overridden by the end user and is not visible on the except via a warning on the Search Panel.

Using this requires SOQL knowledge. To learn more about SOQL please use the following link:

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.soql_sosl.meta/soql_sosl/sforce_api_calls_soql_select_conditionexpression.htm

Sharing and Visibility Options

Here you can set which sharing and visibility options the component will use. For more on these options please see the configuration section of the File Tagger Button for Upload.

Actions and Activities

In this section you can activate and deactivate various actions that a user can see from the FileViewer component.

Saving a Configuration

Once the Configuration settings are established click the save button on the top right of the Configuration header.

This will start to deploy the configuration. Once it is completed the status will change to the following.

Once created reference the FileViewer Configuration Name in the components Configuration Name design element by choosing it from the picklist.

Configuration for Experience Page

This section will require an active Experience to setup. See more documentation on setting up an Experience from Salesforce https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.networks_setup_maintain_communities.htm.

Open the Experience Builder from Salesforce Setup, navigate to the Experience page you want to add the component, open the Components menu on the right, then navigate to the Custom Components Section. From here you can drag either the File View or File Tag Launcher Component onto the Experience page.

From here you can follow the Configuring a Record Page Layout section above to configure the components.

You will need to share the following apex classes with your Experience user profile in order for the users to upload files:

• firmworks.FileTaxonomyController

• firmworks.ObjectFinderController

• firmworks.FileViewerController

• firmworks.ContentViewerController

• firmworks.RecordReportController
