Viewing an Attached Document

If the file type of an attached document is associated with a default software program on the local computer, you can preview the file in the Preview Attached Documents window. Additionally, clicking Open opens the attached document for editing or viewing purposes.

Note: When you open and then edit an embedded document, changes apply only to the copy stored in the PCS Axis database; changes do not apply to the source file stored outside of PCS Axis. Likewise, editing the source file applies changes to the source file, not the copy stored in the PCS Axis database.
