Extended File Viewer
The Extended File Viewer option provides system support for several different file types, when you link external files to records in the database. This option supports frequently used drawing formats, image formats, and different MS Office document formats
By using the Extended file viewer, you can preview all linked external files in their original format in a viewing window. Without the Extended File Viewer, only PDF files can be viewed.
You can also use the “automatic printout” function for linked external files in the viewing window when handling files in formats besides PDF.
The handling of external files that are linked to records in MONITOR is streamlined by:
- Linking the files directly in their original format without having to create PDF copies of the files, and then link these.
- Not having to relink a copy of the file when the original file is updated or changed.
