# Universal Viewing Configuration Parameters

The `[UniversalViewing]` section contains parameters that allow View Server to locate the original documents for viewing.

With universal viewing, View Server uses the configuration and information that it retrieves from the document store (your Content data index) to work out how to retrieve the original documents for viewing. Universal viewing allows you to retrieve documents from various sources without requiring complex logic in your front end components. However, it does require more internal communication between your IDOL components, which might affect performance.

For example:

    [UniversalViewing]
    Enabled=True
    DocumentStoreHost=localhost
    DocumentStorePort=9900
    DistributedConnectorReferenceField=AUTN_IDENTIFIER
    WebURLReferenceField=DREREFERENCE
    FileSystemReferenceField=ORIGINAL_LOCATION
