TrustLab - Download Report

[RalphOwah]

Implement a “Download Report” feature that allows users to download report PDFs directly from the website without leaving the page. Ensure that every published report in Payload CMS includes a mandatory PDF upload.

As an admin,
I want to upload a report PDF when creating a new report,
So that users can download it directly from the site without any missing files.

As a website user,
I want to download reports directly from the site,
So that I can easily access the file without being redirected elsewhere.

Acceptance Criteria:

1. CMS (Payload) Updates

• Add a new report_pdf field to the Reports collection.
• Field type: File Upload (PDF only).
• Upload PDF Validation = Required. (Make it a *required field).
• A report cannot be created/published without an uploaded report pdf file.
• Ensure uploaded files are stored in Payload’s media directory.

2. Frontend Updates

• Display a Download Report button on each report page or card where applicable.
• On click, initiate a direct file download of the uploaded PDF (same-page action, no redirect).
• The downloaded filename should use the report title, not the name of the PDF.
• The download button triggers the opening of the pdf file in the browser, then the user can decide to download from there.
