Table · reads file
Files
Uploads with type/size.
Rows and columns, sortable and filterable.
What it does
Behaviours, not fields. Choosing between two modules is choosing between these.
Plain storage that does not pretend to be more, which is the right answer more often than it sounds.
Owner and size are the only questions most files raise.
Somewhere for things that belong to no collection, so they stop being emailed around.
How it works
- 1
Files are uploaded and listed, with no interpretation applied.
- 2
Owner and modified answer the two questions most files raise.
- 3
Anything that turns out to have a lifecycle should move to Documents.
- 4
Deliberately dull, which is the right answer more often than it sounds.
Best for
Comparing many records across many fields.
Not the right choice for
A phone. A table is the first thing that stops working narrow.
What a row holds
Every field, and what the agent listens for to fill it — which is the difference between a page you type into and one that fills itself.
| Field | Type | Filled from |
|---|---|---|
| Namerequired | text | The filename, as uploaded. |
| Sizerequired | text | How big. One of the two questions a file actually raises. |
| Ownerrequired | text | Who put it there, which is who to ask about it. |
| Modifiedrequired | date | When it last changed, so the current version is identifiable. |
What it does not do
A module chosen for something it cannot do costs more than one that was never offered.
- No versioning. Re-uploading replaces, and what was there is gone.
- No expiry, no signing, no compliance metadata — that is Documents.
- No folders. Search and sort are the organisation.
- No previews for most formats.
Before it works
What you have to provide, if anything.
- Nothing.
- If you find yourself wanting an expiry column, the file belongs in Documents.
In practice
A team that had been sending spreadsheets as attachments.
“Where should the autumn price list live?”
What the agent built
A file with an owner and a modified date, in one place both people could reach.
What changed
The version-in-an-email problem stopped. Not exciting; it removed about an hour a week.
Better with
These do a different job on the same data. An agent can have all of them.
Documents have versions and expiry dates, and using the wrong one has consequences.
A lot of images and video accumulate from many sources and the immediate need is finding one again.
Data arrives from outside on a schedule and several things depend on it being up to date.
Questions
What data does the Files page use?
It reads file records the agent has collected. Uploads with type/size. Nothing has to be imported first — the page appears once there is something to show.
Do I have to build or configure it?
No. You describe what you need in a sentence and the agent chooses the view and fills it. Custom pages exist for the cases no built-in view covers, and those are reviewed before they go live.
When is a table the wrong choice?
A phone. A table is the first thing that stops working narrow. It is best for: comparing many records across many fields.
Does it stay up to date?
Yes. The page is a view over the data rather than a copy of it, so anything the agent learns afterwards shows up without a rebuild or a re-import.
