View Report Manager documents

By default, a Report Manager document is not filed in a folder. You must locate it using a search. Once you locate a Report Manager document, you can copy it to a folder and then subsequently retrieve it by browsing or searching. No special icon identifies a Report Manager document.

To view a Report Manager document

  1. Browse or search an IS library to locate a Report Manager document.

  2. Select the document, then click IDM Viewer to view the document in the IDM Viewer. Results depend on the Report Manager document type (text, statement, or report), FileNet Web Services configuration, and your Adobe Acrobat environment, as explained below. You can use Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, but you cannot use both.

Using IDM Viewer with Adobe Acrobat Reader

The free Adobe Acrobat Reader runs as an IDM Viewer plug-in and allows you to:

You can view neither Report Manager PDF reports nor Report Manager statements created using page security. These are typically very large documents that require the full Adobe Acrobat product.

Using IDM Viewer and Adobe Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat runs as an IDM Viewer plug-in and allows you to view Report Manager statements and reports as PDF documents. You cannot search for text in statements or reports.

Searching for text in a text-type document

While displaying an indexed Report Manager text-type document in the IDM Viewer (this does not use an Acrobat plug-in), you can search for text.

  1. Display an indexed Report Manager text-type document in the IDM Viewer.
  2. From the Edit menu, choose Find.
  3. In the Report Manager Find dialog, enter or select:
    1. The search string, which can have one or more words.
    2. The number of pages to search. The software will download and search this number of pages at one time. The web server must have cache space to accommodate these pages.
    3. Match case, if you want the search to be case-sensitive. By default, searches are not case-sensitive.
