Create and Configure
Upload and View
Attachment fields can store images, PDFs, documents, archives, and other file types.- Upload files: Click the attachment area in a cell or record detail, then choose local files to upload.
- Store multiple attachments: One attachment cell can contain multiple files.
- Preview files: Images and some file types can be previewed in the cell or record detail.
- Download one attachment: Open an attachment, then download the file.
Attachment fields store files, not plain text. When converting a text field to an attachment field, Teable cannot convert the original text into files. Check whether the data needs a backup before converting the field.
Batch Download Attachments
From the attachment field menu, you can download attachments from the current field as a ZIP file. The download scope follows the current table search results:- If no search is active, Teable downloads downloadable attachments in this attachment field.
- If the table is searching and hiding unmatched rows, Teable only downloads attachments from matching records.
| Prefix option | Description |
|---|---|
| Default index | Uses a system-generated index as the prefix, which helps keep file order clear |
| Select a field as prefix | Uses another field value as the filename prefix, useful for organizing files by ID, customer name, or project name |
| No prefix | Keeps the original filename where possible |
Use with AI Fields
AI fields can read attachments and write generated images to attachment fields.- Read attachments: In AI field settings, add the attachment field as an input field. Whether the AI field can recognize image or file content depends on the selected model.
- Save images: Set the AI field output to an attachment field. Generated images are saved to that field.
