Document renditions

Meridian Enterprise is able to store and manage multiple files for each document in a vault. The primary file is the editable content of the document. Other files include hybrid document parts, a thumbnail image, and electronic redlines. BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2012 adds another file type for renditions.

A document rendition is a copy of a document in a format other than the original. Renditions can be automatically generated by BlueCielo Publisher.

Document renditions:

• Can be seen in the viewer pane by enabling the Show Renditions option in the PowerUser client. You may also switch between viewing the native document and viewing the rendition. When the rendition is shown, Rendition of <DocumentName.ext> appears in the title bar of the viewer.
• Can be updated on demand for either a folder or a selection of documents.
• Can be accessed and verifed using VBScript. See the BlueCielo Meridian EnterpriseVBScript API Reference for more information.
• Can be sent as attachments in emails generated from a Meridian Enterprise desktop application.
• Include properties to handle rendition settings such as page layout, rendition color, etc.
• Are secured by new privileges that control viewing of renditions, manually updating renditions, viewing rendition redlines, and editing rendition redlines inside and outside of a workflow.
