# Configure HPE View Server

HPE View Server converts original documents into HTML format for viewing in a Web browser. It can also highlight search terms in the document, when displaying a search results. HPE IDOL Data Admin uses HPE View Server to create the document previews in searches.

There are two viewing modes. The appropriate one to use depends on how you index your documents:

- Reference Field. In this mode, HPE IDOL Data Admin requests documents from View Server by using a document reference field, which you can configure. In this case, the reference must be sufficient to identify the original location of the document, such as a URL or file path (if you configure HPE View Server to view local files).

- Connector. In this mode, HPE IDOL Data Admin uses a connector to retrieve the original document. The connector can retrieve the original document from the source repository, which simplifies the storage and retrieval. You must provide the host and port of the connector to use. HPE IDOL Data Admin uses the `AUTN_IDENTIFIER` document field and connector group to request the original document.

  You can use any connector that supports the View action. If you want to retrieve documents from multiple repositories, you can use the Distributed Connector. For more information about the HPE IDOL configuration for this set up, refer to IDOL Expert.

NOTE:

If a document does not have the required reference field or connector group and identifier, IDOL Data Admin renders the title and document content from the Content index in the document previews. In this case, it uses the `DRETITLE` and `DRECONTENT` document fields to populate the title and content, respectively.

Users with the Administrator role can use the Settings pages to configure the HPE View Server.
