View Document Options

While viewing the list of documents, you can click on the document thumbnail to see a list of available options for this document:

• View – opens the document in its native application on your computer
• Replace – you can change out the document without having to modify the document details
• Enable/Remove Restricted Access – turn on restricted access for the document so that only users with the appropriate permission sets will be able to view it (or turn off restrictions for a document with restricted access enabled)
• Export – save the document to a directory on your computer
• Copy – make a copy of the document to paste it into another location
• Email – send the document by email
• Draw – if you attach an image, such as a floor plan, you have the added option of a Draw button in the options menu. Draw shapes, lines, arrows, and input text in the image with the draw feature (note that you can only draw on images, not PDF files) Note: drawing on an image uses a legacy drawing feature no longer supported in iPoint. But we’ve left it here for those who still use it.
• Generate Preview – when you have a PDF loaded, it might show a thumbnail of a generic PDF document. Click the generate preview button to convert the pdf image into a thumbnail of the first page of the PDF.
• Delete – delete the document if you have the appropriate permissions
