download document on button click

@ramakg To the best of my knowledge, he SAIL Button Component isn't actually intended for doing so. Document Link SAIL Component is the one which is intended for achieving the purpose you are aiming at, and afaik SAIL Button Component isn't a viable option at least for now.

Hi Rama,
If the button is submit then we can display one more form which contain the link to download the document.
If the document is not Submit, den we can display extra field which contains link to download the document on click of that button

thanks for your quick response

The above-mentioned approach still won't give a *prompt*which we see when we click a Document Link SAIL Component.

Hi Ramakg, how about using an Icon type image field some thing like which will display "down arrow" that points to documentDownloadLink, that gives some visual clue to end user so that user can download the document on clicking of that Image.

You may try this, this is not exactly what you asked for but quite similar - You can add a button on your Form with appropriate text and clicking on that will lead to the next form (using activity chaining to next form) there you can have a link to download the file and after its completion back to the previous page (where the button was clicked)

@chandrasekharg, can we attach documentDownloadLink tag to image filed ?

Do you mean to show image instead of plan link to download the file, Yes in that case use "a!documentImage(...)" function

a!documentImage(
document: todocument(1),
link: a!documentDownloadLink(
label: "sampleImage",
document: linktodocument(1,"sample")
)

use "document" property to show the image for enduser on which user will click
And then use "document: linktodocument(1,"sample")" property to link the document which will get down load once user clicks on the image

Hope this will help :)

thank you Vijay. is it possible to capture an image click event?

@ramakg It depends on what kind of Link Type you associate with 'Document Image'. If you use Dynamic Link with Document Image, then yes, it is possible to capture the image click event as we can write the code which captures the event in the 'saveInto' of Dynamic Link. But if you want to use Document Download Link, it's not possible as Document Download Link lacks 'saveInto' attribute.
