Universal Viewing

Universal Viewing is an IDOL View component configuration that allows it to determine the appropriate method to use to view a file.

In this case, View checks each document for a set of fields, and uses the values of these fields to retrieve the original document by using a distributed connector, the Web, or the file system. If it cannot retrieve the document by any of these methods, it retrieves the document title and content from the document store (your IDOL Content component index).

Micro Focus recommends that you use this method for viewing documents with View in a distributed environment, because it simplifies the process of making document viewing work in your applications.
