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.
