Attachment source - allow configuration to replace file through file match

Currently, we display attachments under an attachment source on a dashboard in the following ways:


1) linking the attachment by embedding the chart URL to a dashboard to be displayed:

2) dynamic dash images that will display the latest uploaded image to an attachment source

3) Media gallery view

It would be helpful to allow an attachment source to be configured by file name matching (i.e., similar to the data source). This would then enable automated updates of existing attachment parameters and retaining their properties (i.e., simply replace existing images/pdfs with updated images/pdfs while keeping their parameter ID and properties the same), which would then:

  • Avoid having the need to create a new link to link the new attachment to the dashboard (related to retaining the properties)

  • Allow dynamic update per attachment parameter instead of attachment source - see point 2 above


  • Attach files
