Creator Simplified #12: Track the no.of button-click downloads

Hey Creators!

We're here with yet another episode of Creator Simplified for you!

In this post, we'll see a workaround to count the number of button-click downloads made in the report.


Usecase

In a training app, students can download the course material that suits them, and trainers need to track the course demand by counting the number of downloads made.

Demo

  1. Create a form (here, Course_Material) with a file upload field (Study Material) to upload the materials.

  2. Add a number field (No.of downloads). From its field properties, keep the initial value as 0 and set the visibility as Admin only. 

  1. Create a custom button to download the file with a single click. Refer to this document to get the code.

  2. Add another action and type

  1. input.No_of_downloads = No_of_downloads + 1;
      5. Add the number field and the custom button to the report's quick view.


Output

Refresh to see the update. 



It can't get any simpler than this.

That's about it!
