Opening a document in Web Access

Working with documents from within your maintenance management system is convenient, but limited. The limitations are intentional due to:

• The modest needs of maintenance users
• The typically restricted access to engineering data of maintenance users
• Documents are only available that are linked to assets or that are referenced by documents that are linked to assets. Documents that may otherwise be relevant but are not linked are not accessible.
• To make the Asset Management Module easy to use for occasional users

Much more data and functionality is available in Meridian Enterprise Web Access. Meridian Enterprise Web Access is the intranet/Internet access system built into Meridian Enterprise. Web Access lets you work with Meridian Enterprise vaults using an Internet Explorer web browser. You can access most of the same vault features and data from Web Access that you can with the PowerUser client. For more information on the differences between Web Access and PowerUser, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User’s Guide.

Note    Although Web Access provides more data and functionality, your vault privileges are the same as when using the Asset Management Module from your maintenance management system.

To open in Web Access the document that you are currently viewing in your maintenance management system:

1. View the document that you want to download as described in Viewing the latest revision of a document.
2. Click the Open Document in Meridian Web Access icon . An Internet Explorer window opens to a Meridian Enterprise Web Access page with the document selected.

For more information on using Web Access, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User’s Guide.
