The Document library control allows you to select a single document library within the current application or from a different application. Users with proper permissions can edit, view, and add files straight from the document library control itself.

By default, it will choose the document library name as a title for the document control. If we want to change the title, we can edit the document library control and change the title in the caption area.

Users can able to view, download documents, or view detail information about each document.

You can choose to to show all contents under this source document library or even a sub folder within the library. You can also set the document library control to show all the contents of the source document library with pagination, or just display limited records (like top 5 items), and users can go the full document library by clicking See all at the bottom.

Firstly, find the Document Library control in the controls add panel. Then, drag and drop it into a section or container on your canvas.

Afterward, move on to thedropdown list. Select the data library under the selected application. If you want to just show the documents under a specific folder, you can select from the Document Library sub folder dropdown list. Like only show documents under the sub folder called "Budget proposals" as below:

Dynamic folder path: For some cases, you might want to display the contents under a folder based on the dynamic context. Here is an example:

Imagine that you have a project management application, which includes a projects data list, and a document library to store the documents of all projects. And, you want to store the project related documents in the sub folders with projects' name as the folders' name.
​
​

Then, on the project detail page, you want to show all the documents related to the current project. You can add a document library control on your projects view page, and set the dynamic folder path as the value of the current project's name:

Afterward, from the Data Filters option, click the condition button to filter the documents from the selected document library.

Set the Primary Order and Secondary Order to sort your documents properly.

Move to the "Content" section. Select the layout properly from the dropdown list.

There are 3 types of the layouts which you can select from:

The properties and styles of Table view and Card view can be set separately. So, if the Default/Dynamic layout is selected, you will be able to see all the related settings for both Table view and Card view. Otherwise, you will only see the table view related settings, or the card view related settings.

And from the Card View section, you can set the width of each control with percentage. For example, To show 4 controls in each row, you can set the width as 25% for each. The Title Layout, Vertical Align, and Title Width settings help to set the positioning of the title for each control.

If you want to show a title text of this document library control, allow users to search documents, or create new folder / upload documents (only if the users has the proper permissions), you can set the Display Caption option ON. There are couple of the following settings will be available then:

For example, the source document library has one field called "Customers" as a Lookup field type. So when users' upload a new document, they will be asked to select a customer from the customer's data list.
​

If the projects data list we mentioned above also has the same Lookup field called "Customer". When users upload documents from the document library control inside in projects details page. You might want to automatically get the value of the project's customer field, and set it to the document's customer field. To do so, you can set the default value like below:

Then when users open a project's detail page, and click the "upload documents" button to upload a new document, the customers field's value to be set to the current project's customer value automatically.
