View Document
Explanation
Use this activity to view a document file. You can view:
- The original document in its original application.
- A view copy of the original document.
Depending on how the document class process actions are set up for the selected
document class, a document macro can be run when viewing the document. You
can view the files from Document Revision page,
Document Revisions page and Approvals
page. Multiple documents can be viewed by selecting multiple rows in the
Document Revisions page.
This activity uses IFS Aurena Agent. For details on the file operations
that support Aurena Agent, refer to the
Uses of Aurena Agent in Document Management.
Prerequisites
- You must have view access to the document.
- If you want to open the view copy, a read-only copy of the document
must be checked in together with the original document. You also need a
viewer that supports your view copy file format (e.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader™).
System Effects
- After selecting a document for viewing,
the system searches for the file and determines if you have view access
to the document. Then, if Aurena Agent has been installed, the application
is opened and the file is displayed. The file will be copied to a
separate folder named Temp in your local check-out path
as well. If Aurena Agent has not been installed, the file will download
to the download location which has been set for the browser.
- A view document can be printed from Acrobat
Reader.
