Document Viewer

Select a document or form from Search Results, Workspace, or Storage to open the Document Viewer. In the Document Viewer you can perform various tasks depending on the permissions assigned to you and how you access the document.

Typically, documents are opened from:

  • Workspace — from pending tasks assigned to you or a group in which you're a member.
  • Storage — from folders you have permission to access.
  • Search Results — from the list of results returned when you submit a search.

Supported File Extensions

Utilize Vasion Automate Pro to view the following file name extensions in the document viewer:

  • .pdf

  • Most image types (.gif, .tif, .png, .jpg, .heic)

  • .msg — if a .msg file has attachments, selecting an attachment, will open the Attachment Viewer. For more information on the Attachment Viewer, see Attachment Viewer.

  • Office files (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx)

While .xlsx and .docx files are supported, not all advanced functionality that can be saved in these file name extensions is compatible with the document viewer.

The following file name extensions are not supported as viewable in the document viewer, but can be added to Vasion Automate Pro's storage app.

  • .csv
  • .html
  • .ppt
  • .pptx
  • .txt
  • .xml
  • .xps
  • any other file name extensions not listed above

Workspace

If the document is part of a business process workflow, you can take action to move the workflow to the next step, complete a workflow, or depending on configuration, terminate a workflow. For signature workflows, if a document is assigned to you, you can sign or reject it. Additional options may be available to you, depending on your permissions.

Storage

When you view a document or form from a storage folder, you can use it to start a workflow, view object data and more depending on your permissions.

Search Results

When you access a document from search results, the options available may vary since the document may currently be in a workflow assigned to you, or it can be in a storage folder.

Available Views

The following four types of views are available:

  • Document View — this is the default view when you open a document.
  • Data View — this is the default view when you open a document generated from a form through Storage or Search Results.
  • Form View — this view is similar to data view, but will display in the form layout that generated the document. Form View is only available in Workflow steps that have the Use Form View for Step configuration. For more information on configuring Workflow steps to enable this view, see Workflow Steps.
  • PDF View — this view will display a PDF document in the browser's native PDF viewer.
