CaseMap has two options for file viewers. You can use CaseMap's DocManager near native imager viewer or you can set up a custom file viewer in CaseMap.
Learn about DocManager
Content review of linked files can be done in CaseMap's DocManager near native image viewer. DocManager allows you to review and annotate documents and images without having to open the source file in its native application. DocManager opens documents and images in a secondary window, which can be resized and viewed on a secondary monitor or docked as a pane inside CaseMap.
DocManager includes several additions features, including the ability to add notes to annotations, edit annotations and notes, and also search your notes. When a search is run, search hits will be highlighted in DocManager allowing you review content and navigate between search hits. Once you have reviewed and annotated the content, the annotations and notes are automatically saved. When you print annotated files, you have the option of whether to print annotations and notes. For more information, see About DocManager.
Set up a custom file viewer
CaseMap also allows you to add native applications as file viewers so you can view native files in the application in which they originate. You can add as many file viewers as you need to view the files and documents linked to records in your case. Once a file viewer is set up in CaseMap, you can view the source file in the native application. If other users want to view that same record file, they will need to set up the file viewer in CaseMap too.
To view the file, select the case record it is linked to and then click on the paperclip icon to launch the native application. The path to the native file is stored in the Linked File field or Related File field for that case record.
CaseMap integrates with a number of software and file viewer applications. To review a complete listing, see Native applications that can be viewed from within CaseMap. |
If your organization uses a file viewer that is not currently listed, check to see if the viewer supports DDE (dynamic data exchange), ActiveX Scripting, or Command Line Parameters. If so, you can configure the viewer and then view the documents and files within CaseMap.

When adding a custom file viewer, you can choose from a list of options in the New File Viewer dialog box.
|
The default viewer in CaseMap is a Windows file viewer. You can add additional file viewers, such as Adobe Acrobat, so users can view linked PDF files in CaseMap. The File Viewers dialog box displays a listing of all programs that have been added to your licensed copy of CaseMap. Users who want to view source files in native applications must have the applicable file viewer added in File Viewers dialog box for their copy of CaseMap. For more information, see Adding/changing file viewers. |
