The topics in this section explain how to work with documents.
When you use Enterprise Manager to double-click a document object (in the Root Folder's tree of folders or the Unfiled Documents folder), Enterprise Manager takes the default operating system "EDIT" action for the document type. Where no default EDIT action exists, the document will not open.
Therefore, when you double-click a document:
The reason for using the EDIT action instead of the OPEN action is that the OPEN action could potentially run executable filetypes (such as .bat, .vbs, .exe) that were stored in Content Engine. In most cases, that is not a desirable behavior. Therefore, as a security precaution, Enterprise Manager uses the EDIT action.
