Azure Blob - View uploaded file details.

Posted on by 24
I have a requirement to upload files to Azure and not use dataverse file storage but i am struggling with how to properly display those files so the end user know which is which.
 
  • Upload is working well and i can see the basic data added to the notes table as expected.
  • Once uploaded, I need my users to see what they have uploaded and i am happy with just delete the file (no need to edit) and i have the delete function working, though really its deleting the note reference, not the acutal file. But i can live with that. 
  • I have added the timeline (notes) to a basic form that's collecting the data / meta data i need.
 
What i can't seem to figure is how to change the display of the uploaded file in TimeLine, just to give the users an indication of what this file is. All the data is in the note but the documentation on this is 'sparse'. you can see at the screen grab below, we can see the file, but no real idea of what it 'is'.
 
I am seeing lots of references to adding HTML Resource Components and ADX files BUT they are all power apps and years old. 
 
Any pointers as to the best way of configuring the notes view for Power Pages (in 2024 - not power apps in 2021!) All i really need to to swap the user name with the file details. (File is a field but i can't seem to show that on this form because its a system form and you can't edit that)

    Azure Blob - View uploaded file details.
    I was working on a POC one and got into the same issue/frustration as you.
     
    One way to go here is to leverage this PCF control that provides upload to Azure Blob Storage via both Portal and Model-Driven Apps: https://pcf.gallery/power-pages-file-uploader/
     
    We didn't go ahead with this solution, but a few notes that I need to highlight since I believe changes are necessary to the code of the PCF control:
    • the control leverages Environment Variables, but for Portal it should use Site Settings
    • folders are not structured in Blob Storage
    • there is a validation to ensure that Portal users can only view records they have uploaded, but I don't think this should be the behaviour
