Viewing files

You can easily view the files that are attached to a document. Meridian Project Portal supports three methods that depend on the type of the file:

• Within Project Portal – Any file type that can be viewed directly by your web browser: plain text, HTML, and web-compatible image files.
• Native application – Any file type that cannot be viewed directly by your web browser will download to your computer and open in the Windows application that is registered for the file type.
• AutoVue Client/Server – Any file type that is supported by AutoVue C/S. This can be useful if you do not have the native application installed or if viewing the file in AutoVue C/S is easier than with the native application. To use this method, an AutoVue C/S server must be available and Project Portal must be configured to use it. For information about using AutoVue C/S, see the Oracle AutoVue Client-Server Deployment User's Manual. available on the Oracle website.

To view files:

1. In the document list, click the arrow next to the filename that you want to view. The File actions menu appears.

2. Click View file. The file either opens in your browser (supported file types) or the file downloads to your computer and opens in the Windows application that is registered for the file type.

   OR

   Click Open in Viewer. The file opens in AutoVue C/S.
