This activity is used to view a document using the Instant View feature. Using this feature, it is possible to directly see the document content regardless of the format of the document file. The exact file formats supported depends on the AutoVue license installed. For example, the Office license supports the viewing of common office file formats and 2D and 3D Pro supports advanced 2D and 3D CAD file formats. The built-in viewer facilitates the viewing and sharing documents so that you do not need to install an external viewer. This functionality makes it easier to view large documents over slow network connections and to share large documents between different sites.
Documents can be viewed in two different windows. When navigating documents using the Business Object Explorer, the viewer will open in the whole right pane of the application. From the Document Revision window and Attachments/Documents, a small, floating window will pop up which can be resized and moved around. When you navigate between different documents, the viewer is updated to display the selected document.
As a result of this activity, the document file is displayed.
