The FileWalker provides direct access to files stored on your network, making them available to users within the browser. * The control offers an interface similar to Windows Explorer and enables both read and write access to shared folders. It also allows the corresponding files to be included in the portal-wide search, enhancing file discoverability.
Additionally, FileWalker supports dynamic insertion of individual path components based on the current data record. This feature can be particularly useful for displaying documents related to a specific project.
