Your web administrator can configure a command as the default action for opening and viewing a document. The default action then occurs automatically when you click a document in the list view. Open or View are the commands used as a default action for library documents. The default action for CS documents is Open. For IS documents, it is View. If the default action is Open, you open the document in your web browser or in its registered application. If the default action is View, you can only view the document in the IDM Viewer.
You can open:
Documents that have been saved to a library.
Image files (TIFF, BMP, and JPEG format) on your hard disk.
Documents created in a variety of file formats (word processing, spreadsheet, database, and high-end graphics).
Documents from a path-based or ID-based URL in an HTML page. See Using a path-based URL to open a document.
For a complete list of the supported document formats
, see Document formats supported by the Viewer.
In addition to the default action, you can choose to view or open a document from the FWS toolbar.
