Document 23.12 Release Notes

Documents

  • Open hyperlinks directly into the viewer – You can now indicate whether a document opens to the document’s Details page or in the viewer. ClosedRead more

    You can choose whether to open the document to the Details page or in the viewer as a user preference. The Document links to load setting has been added to the Document Options tab of the User preferences. When set to View file, a document opened from another module or from document links opens to the file viewer.

    For example, if you click a document link in the Lots module and the setting is set to View file, the document opens in the viewer. If the setting is set to Details, the document’s Details tab opens, so you can see information about the document before viewing it.
