About the BlueCielo viewer

Several of the applications in the BlueCielo family of products, including BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise, BlueCielo TeamWork, BlueCielo ImandrA, BlueCielo ProjectForce, Meridian Asset Management Module, Meridian Explorer, and BlueCielo View, use the BlueCielo View Control for displaying, redlining, and draft printing documents. The BlueCielo View Control appears as a viewer pane and works the same in all of the applications. It is the easiest way to view your documents. You can view documents in the viewer pane without the document's native application installed. The viewer pane displays buttons in a toolbar that you can use to view documents in various ways and inspect them. Depending on the BlueCielo application used and your security permissions, you may also be able to draft-print or redline documents. Regardless of what you do in the viewer pane, it will not change the document—all view actions are either temporary or are saved elsewhere.

Note    The BlueCielo viewer also displays the web pages that are specified in Internet shortcut (URL) files using the default web browser.

The viewing tools available for a particular document are dependent on the viewer associated with the document's file format. Each file format can be associated with a different viewer, and multiple viewers, including third-party viewers, can be configured to display within the viewer pane. Each viewer provides its own tools for the file formats that it supports. The BlueCielo products that use the BlueCielo viewer also include the AutoVue 2D Professional viewer developed by Oracle, Inc. and other viewer components. Together, they support over 250 of the most popular file formats. A complete list of the supported file formats can be downloaded from the BlueCielo ECM Solutions web site. To use a different viewer for a particular file format, see Changing viewers. See Installing third-party viewers for information on installing the supplied support for other viewers. Each viewer also provides different configurable options for viewing different file formats. See Setting viewer options for explanations of the available options.
