App files
This article provides instructions for accessing and using the main and single view of the App Files application in Accelerate while logged in.
App files are files generated or saved by applications other than the My Files application itself. For instance, images uploaded in Powerflow prompts or JSON files containing data from batch mode (sequential or parallel) threads in automation processes.
Step 1
Accessing the App Files Section
On the left sidebar, you will find the "My Files" section. Click on "App Files" to access the main view.
Step 2
Main View Overview
When you first access the App Files section, you will see a list of files or folders. Here is what you need to know:
Thumbnail: This column shows the icon or thumbnail of the files or folders.
Name: This column displays the name of each file or folder.
Alt: This column allows you to add alternative text for your files, which can be helpful for accessibility.
Title: This column shows the title of the file or folder.
Type: This column indicates the type of file (e.g., folder, image, document).
Created At: This column shows the date and time when the file or folder was created.
Updated At: This column shows the last date and time the file or folder was updated.
Sorting
Click on any of the column headers (e.g., Name, Type, Created At, Updated At) to sort the list in ascending or descending order. The arrow icon next to the column header will indicate the current sort order, as depicted in the image above.
Step 3
Showing Hidden Files
Hidden files are JSON files that contain the prompts submitted by users in batch modes, in a structured format. These files are generated to ensure that the system accurately records and manages the batch operations. These hidden files are created each time a user submits a batch mode thread, whether in parallel or sequential mode. You can choose to show or hide these files:
Toggle the switch labeled "Show hidden files" on the right side of the screen and switch it on to display hidden files or off to hide them again.
Step 4
Accessing the Single View
Click on any file or folder from the list to open it in the single view.
Step 5
Single View Overview
Once you have selected a file, you will be taken to the single view interface. The Info section display detailed information about the file including:
Name: The name of the file.
Alt: Alternate text for the file, which can be edited.
App Owner: The owner of the file.
File Type: The type of file (e.g., text/plain).
File Size: The size of the file.
Creative Commons / Open Content Licenses: Information about the file's license.
Step 6
