Resources

The Resources Panel provides access to your Heisenware account's internal file server. This is the central location for uploading and managing any external files your apps need, such as images for the user interface, data files for your backend logic, or PDFs for template backgrounds.

Managing Your Files

Uploading Files

To upload a file:

1. Click the upload icon [] at the top of the Resources Panel.

2. Drag and drop a file into the upload field, or click in the field to select a file from your computer.

3. Click Upload. The file will appear in the panel and is ready to be used.

Renaming & Deleting Files

To manage an existing file, right-click on it to open a context menu with options to rename or delete it.

Be careful when renaming or deleting a resource that is already being used by your application, as it may break parts of your UI or backend logic.

Common Use Cases

Here are a few examples of how you can use files from the Resources Panel in your application.

Displaying Images in the UI

After uploading an image, you can add it to your app's interface by simply dragging the image file from the Resources Panel and dropping it directly onto the UI Builder.

Importing Data from a CSV File

The file server is an easy way to import data. You can upload a .csv file and then use the readCsv function to read its contents and process the data in your application logic.
