Froala Editor is a lightweight WYSIWYG HTML Editor written in Javascript that enables rich text editing capabilities in the Rich Text Area field type of AgileApps platform.

  • Post login, this feature allows you to upload files and images in the Rich Text Area field type.
  • You can either drag and drop, or click to browse through your files.

  • You can also copy and paste the content with images, as a URL. The images are stored as an external link when you whitelist(CORS) the external domain. You can add the external domain in Company Information, CORS configuration.

  • Select the entire file link and delete it.

This will delete the file from the server.

Considerations

  • If you open an add record form, upload five images and then accidentally close the add record form, then the documents are deleted from the document storage in 24 hours.
  • While creating or updating a record, if you upload ten images, delete eight of them and then save the record with two images, the eight deleted documents are immediately cleaned up.
  • While updating a record, if you delete files but do not save the record, the files or images are retained. RTA content changes take effect only after you save the record.
  • The images and files are bound to Allowed File Types in ISV settings.
  • The Froala editor is not available in web forms.
  • The capability to drag and drop images and files is not available for the Guest user form.
  • Rich Text Area Template Variable only displays the HTML content without attachments, inline images or HTML rendering.
  • The documents uploaded using Froala RTA are stored in the AgileApps Server and not on external storage.
