$extFile() - External FileStore

The $extFile() keyword is used to reference and link to files stored in external file stores that have been integrated with the CoB Platform. These file stores can be remote storage systems, like Google Cloud Storage or an AWS S3 Bucket.

Usage:

$extFile(<filestore label>)

When using the $extFile(), you enable the integration of RecordM with an external file store for file management.

• When creating a new instance, any uploaded file is temporarily stored on the server. It will only be uploaded to the external file store when the instance is saved.
• When updating an existing instance, the file is automatically uploaded to the configured external file store.
• To download the file, simply click the provided link.

INFO

For this keyword to work, RecordM must be properly configured with the external file store you reference. Refer to the following link for setup information.
