  2. Select options using the descriptions in the following table and click OK.

Option Description

Use Oracle AutoVue Client/Server deployment to view documents

Replaces the viewer with the AutoVue Client/Server (Java applet) viewer. Your organization must have an available AutoVue rendering server and AutoVue application server to use this option. Consult a system administrator for the URLs to type for this option.

Enable Web Access client components

Select this option if you want to be able to remotely view hybrid documents, redline documents, or download and upload batches of documents.

Click Document Transfer Options to set your personal preferences for the download options. For more information, see Document transfer options details.

Click Viewer Options to set your personal preferences for the viewing window.

View renditions

Displays the rendition of the selected document in the viewer by default instead of the source file.

View documents in a separate browser window

Displays documents in the viewer in a separate browser window instead of reusing the Web Access browser window. This option makes previewing documents while browsing more convenient. You can click document icons in a navigation view to show the selected document in the new window while the navigation view remains visible in the main Web Access window. This feature also works with the Show Document command when invoked from the Document shortcut menu in a navigation view.

Note    If this option is enabled, your browser’s pop-up blocking feature might need to be adjusted or cleared to allow the separate window to open.

Warning    Errors can occur and redlines will not be saved if this option is enabled and the Always open pop-ups in a new tab option is enabled in the browser. We recommend that you use one option or the other but not both.

Create thumbnails on import of document

Generates thumbnail images of new documents you upload to the vault.

Update thumbnails when releasing Quick Change

Refreshes thumbnail images of documents you upload after making changes.

Remember location in vault between sessions

When you start a new Web Access session, opens the vault to the last document you viewed.

Current time zone

Select your local time zone so that time data is displayed correctly.

Use custom color scheme

Displays Web Access using an alternate color scheme. Select a scheme from the list. For information about customizing the available color schemes or creating new ones, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.
