Hi 

I am trying to create a small application related to Internet bill tracker. Here user need to update few details and need to attach internet bill file of the particular month. 
So in Interface I have added few components like Bill amount, Month of the bill, uploaded by, File upload etc. 


To store the uploaded files I have created a folder in my application. I have consider a local variable (local!file) as local file and the value is saving into local!file.

While filling the form I am able to upload the PDF and same is stored in that Particular folder. But in Records I'm unable to get option to see that particular file and also Admin need to download the same PDF from the record section. 

Please help me to resolve this issue.

    Hi [mention:591a11d82dfe4b478d0af951aff07542:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

    Since you are saving it only in local variable, the document id is not saved in the database, so please save the document id in rule input and save it using write records, then you will be able to see.
