Content Manager viewer commands

The options and shortcut commands available in the Content Manager viewer depend on the type of file you are viewing.

The right-click menu displays commands depending on the type of electronic document you are viewing and are described below or self-explanatory.

  • Print - prints a hard copy of the electronic document

    NOTE:

    • Clearing the Print command in the Record Type's Menu page will not affect the ability to print from the Content Manager viewer.
    • The viewing software used by Content Manager (OpenText KeyView IDOL) is designed for generic viewing and does not intend to provide the same viewing or printing experience as the authoring application. Therefore, if the results are not what you expected, you may want to try the authoring application for viewing and/or printing.
      See CM24.2_Spec.pdf in the Content Manager installation folder's Documentation folder for known limitations.
