drag file from LF repository on to a form

asked on June 27, 2018

Is there something I am missing?  Right now I can drag and drop files from Explorer to upload to a form but I can't do the same out of the Laserfiche client.  Is that accurate?  Can it not work this way?  Or could you use LF Connector to pull a file in?  Suggestions or maybe it's simply a compatibility issue?

 

Thank you

Currently you cannot attach files from the repository to a form, unless you download/export them to your desktop first.

A while ago, one of the VARs posted a pretty neat write-up of a complicated solution they designed as a workaround to this issue... but it is probably best to wait for Laserfiche to actually develop this feature themselves. The solution (link) involved inserting data directly into the Forms database, which is potentially fragile and may break as the product evolves. It's still a very interesting read!

Thank you Scott.  I'll have a read for sure :o) It would be great for Laserfiche to develop this feature.  It seems a bit counter productive to move a file out of a Laserfiche product so that it can work with another Laserfiche product. :o/
