Document Viewer

The Content Manager Web Client provides a generic document viewer to view different types of documents. If you want to view your document in the native application, you can bypass Content Manager document viewer for those file types. Depending on the browser you are using, the document will be opened in another tab or you will be prompted to save and download the file to your local system.

User can choose how particular electronic document file types are viewed in Content Manager Web Client. The options to choose from are:

- Bypass Content Manager Viewer for These File Types - the supported file types will be displayed using the browser's viewing capabilities.

NOTE: If the attempt to view large CSV file fails in Web Client, bypass the Content Manager viewer for CSV file type in the Settings > Document Viewer. You will then be able to view the CSV as a plain text.

To select the file types:

1. Click in the option field and from the displayed drop-down list, click the required file type.
2. Click OK to save the changes.

To remove a selected file type:

1. In the option field, click the X next to the file type name.
2. Click OK to save the changes.
