Document Library List Web Component

The document library organises and displays downloadable files or documents in a user-friendly layout. This tool provides direct access to a Document Library for users (for this reason ensure that only users who have access to the page who you want to be able to access and see these items, do not rely on Document Security alone).

It allows visitors/members to easily access and download resources like PDFs, reports, or manuals.

Key Features

• File Organisation: Allows grouping or listing of documents with titles and descriptions.
• Download Links: Provides easy access for users to download files.
• Responsive Design: Ensures the document library adjusts to various screen sizes.
• Customisable Layout: Can be styled and formatted for better visual presentation.

Examples

• Member Resources : Share annual reports, financial statements, or policy documents.
• Educational Content: Provide downloadable study materials, research papers, or course syllabi.
• Client Information: Offer contracts, proposals, or project briefs for easy access by clients.
  

✔ Document Libraries placed on webpages are protected by page access

Because users cannot see or access files unless they can see the page.

❌ NO — The file download API does not verify page permissions

It only checks folder type, security level, and authentication status.

Practical Security Outcome

• Very safe in real-world usage
• GUID guessing is impossible
• Almost all leaks are prevented
• Matches standard DXP security patterns

Variations

Different colour styles and sizes can be utilised here.

You are also able to show / hide for certain roles. I.e a document library for staff only, or volunteers only.

Example Document Library Component

This example shows the Data Migration format documents we use.

The documents themselves are managed as part of the Document Library module. This list will automatically update based on what is added or removed from the document library.
