Download file instead of opening in

[Kuroshi]

I have a file DataType that I am displaying as a link in the report page. I need to do is to be able to download any file regardless of the file type. I don't want to display anything. Just download. Now, if it is a image file, it is opening on the same tab instead of downloading it. Can you help?

Hi @Batchini,

What we can do to achieve your current workflow is to insert an HTML Block instead and call the File Field there as a link. You may refer to this screenshot:  

Here's the HTML code for the link download:
<a download='file' href="[@field:File_field/]"> Download Image </a>

Please note that you need to change the [@field:File_field/] based on what field do you have.

I hope this works now.

@Barbie Hello!  What would you put to just view the file?  So instead of downloading what is the syntax to view it? 

Edit:  I figured it out.  <a href="[@field:design_proof/]">View Approved Mailer</a>

What if I only what this link to be clickable if there is an attachment in the field?  So if there isn't a file attached to the record it wouldn't be clickable.
