Displaying Files in the Online Viewer
As an alternative to downloading, files can also be viewed online in a viewer. Clicking on the eye icon on the right side of the line with the name of the document launches the viewer. The viewer is provided by the server and does not need to be installed on your computer or mobile device. The viewer supports the following formats: .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .jpg, .png, .gif.
To view files in the viewer:
1 Search for the desired document in the view using the filing folders and search functions.
2. Click the name of the desired document to open the container.
3. Click the eye icon in the row to the right of the desired file to view it in the online viewer.
4. The selected file will be opened in the online viewer.
5. The opened file can now be downloaded or sent for printing.
6. Close the viewer by clicking the "Back to document" on the right above the window that appears to return to the document.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for all the attachments you want to display.
If you have opened a file via the online viewer, some functions are available in the header: by clicking on the printer icon you can send the document directly from the viewer to the printer, with the "Download" function you have the option to save the opened document to your local hard drive.
When you open a file with the online viewer, the process is logged in the edit log as a down-load. The opened file is then considered read!
