File URL is not displayed in appview

[eldderri]

Dear friends,

    I am making a checklist app and I want to send an appview via email with File url so that the person who block the truck can open the checklist before doing so.But my File does not appear in the appview though I have included it in the appview.How to make the File displayed in my Appview?

   In preview I see the File and can open it ,but when email preview body is viewed and email is sent ,it does not appear!

Your help is highly appreciated ,

Best regards,

It sounds like you are using an embedded app view for your email. This type has many limitations you can review in the documentation. 

Specifically for your situation, the following column types are not supported as editable fields in an embedded app view email:

• ChangeCounter
• ChangeLocation
• ChangeTimestamp
• Color
• Drawing
• File
• Image
• Price
• Progress
• Show
• Signature

In addition, LongText fields are rendered as Text fields in an embedded app view email.

Here are screenshots from a test that show the file displaying in an embedded appview when the view type is detail:

Do you have any show_if conditions or other filters on your file column that would prevent it from showing in certain cases?
