A major feature of SmartSimple list views is that Users can batch download the files that are stored in Single File or Multiple Files custom fields. This functionality can be used within a UTA list view, or in the list view of People or Organizations.

Configuration

To enable file exports in your list view, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the list view configuration settings page.

3. Go to the Properties tab / Feature Options section.

4. Enable the Enable File Download option.

5. Click the Save button.

6. Once saved, the Download Files tab will appear at the top of the list view, allowing users to batch download files across selected records.

  • Full - per record, per field: Creates a separate folder for each record and, within that folder, a separate subfolder for each upload field.
  • Partial - per record: Creates a separate folder for each record but no subfolders for individual upload fields.
  • None - single folder: All records and files are downloaded into one single folder.

11. Click Download button.

12. All relevant files will be downloaded into a zip file. Depending on the number of files, this step may take longer.
