Audience: Administrator

Overview

eXtendFiles, along with a compatible storage provider, allows you to upload files to different folders within your backend file storage.

To use this feature, first create eXtendFiles - Folder Information records in NetSuite. Users can then choose their desired folder when before uploading files through eXtendFiles.

Configuration

Step 1: Record Configuration

Enable Folder Sharing

  1. Go to eXtendTech → eXtendFiles → eXtendFiles Configuration
  2. Select Storage Settings → Share Settings
  3. In the "Signed URL Permissions" section, select "Folder-Based Sharing" and then click "Save & Start Creating Sharing Rule Records →"

Configure Folder Information Records

  1. Set up the eXtendFiles - Folder Information record with these fields:
    1. Name: Enter a descriptive name that users will see when selecting folders
    2. Folder ID: Specify the folder path in your storage
      1. Example 1: For a simple folder use folderA/{uuid}
      2. Example 2: For nested folders, use folderA/folderB/{uuid}
    3. Bucket: Select your storage bucket from the dropdown. Note: The bucket dropdown shows only buckets configured in the eXtendFiles configuration page
    4. Region: (Auto-populated based on bucket)
    5. Store: (Auto-populated based on bucket).
Important Notes:
  • Folders will be automatically created in your storage if they don't exist upon file upload
  • After creation, you can only edit the record name - other changes require creating a new record

Step 2: Script Deployment Configuration

The folder upload feature requires two script deployments. Check if these already exist before creating new ones.

Deploy User Event Script

  1. eXtendFiles User Event
    1. Navigate to Customization → Scripting → Scripts
    2. Find and open the script titled eXtendFiles User Event
    3. Click Deploy Script
    4. Configure the deployment with these settings:
      1. Applies To: eXtendFiles - Folder Information
      2. Status: Released
      3. Audience: All RolesImage Placeholder

Deploy Client Script

  1. eXtendFiles Client Script
    1. Navigate to Customization → Scripting → Scripts
    2. Find and open the script titled eXtendFiles Client Script
    3. Configure the deployment with these settings:
      1. Applies To: eXtendFiles - Folder Information
      2. Status: Released
      3. Audience: All RolesImage Placeholder

Step 3: Workflow Configuration

Enable the included workflow "eXtendFiles - Folder Information [S]" by setting it to "Released" status. This workflow prevents configuration modifications to protect your configuration

Configuration Checklist

  • Folder sharing enabled in eXtendFiles Configuration
  • Folder Information record created
  • User Event Script deployed
  • Client Script deployed
  • Workflow set to Released status

Troubleshooting

  • If fields are locked: This is normal - the workflow prevents modifications to protect your configuration
  • If you need to change settings: Create a new record instead of modifying existing ones
  • If folders aren't appearing: Verify your bucket configuration in the eXtendFiles Configuration
