    I use the Data Explorer to add a computed field consisting of the <a href=”, file_path and file_name columns and the ending “>View</a>. Also specified to allow inline HTML. The link is created successfully, and it opens the pdf file. BUT, if I exit and restart the Data Explorer, all code is gone, only the text View remains.

    An update. I tried the same steps with the new App Builder and it worked fine.
    A follow up question. I really do not like them know where I store the files, when they hover over the link the see the file path. How do I hide that?
    And while we are at it – can I store the pdf inside the blob in the database? How do I retrieve and present it to the user?

    Hi @jkacher,

    It’s not possible to hide the file path when someone hovers on your link.

    You may opt to use link shorteners for your file paths and use those instead.

    And while we are at it – can I store the pdf inside the blob in the database? How do I retrieve and present it to the user?

    You may use blob as a column type, but it’s not possible to present its data as readable like a link using our plugin.

    We hope that answers your questions. Let us know if we can help with anything else. 🙏
