Nav24 Drag & Drop

Add attachments to documents and cards in Business Central by dragging and dropping files.

Reduce clicks and link files to the current record faster.


❓ How does it work?

The module adds a dedicated file drop zone to the standard Attachments panel (FactBox) in Business Central. It works on all pages where this panel is embedded — including Sales Orders, Purchase Orders (both Cards and Lists), Customer and Vendor cards, and more.

Key Features

  • Drag and drop one or multiple files simultaneously onto the drop zone.
  • Real-time upload progress tracking (e.g., 3 of 5).
  • Visual confirmation upon successful upload.
  • Automatic linking of files to the current record or document.

Note

When the module is disabled, the Drag & Drop zone is hidden from the Attachments FactBox. The standard Upload button remains available and unaffected.

Activation Effect

Once enabled, the module automatically appears at the top of the Attachments FactBox on all supported pages — no additional per-page configuration is required.
