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.
This action can be performed on Document Details
page, Document Overview page and My Document
Approvals page. File operations on multiple documents, Document
Macros and Document Process Actions are not supported in IFS Aurena client.
Also operations involving extended files are not supported.
You can also use My Recent Document Activites page
to view the recent document activities the logged in user performed during the
past 30 days
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. This is only supported
in IFS Aurena client only. 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, the application
is opened and the file is displayed.
- Document files that are checked in to the document revision (original
or view copy) are downloaded. The downloaded folder path will depend on
the browser. (E.g. in Google Chrome browser this path can be set in Customize
and Control Google chrome\Settings\Downloads\Location.).
