Business value

Enhance the report viewing experience for customers with advanced document interaction options.

Feature details

Streamline the customer experience when viewing application reports by taking advantage of the new hosted document Preview option. The embedded viewer options give customers direct access to locally connected printers and offers consistency between the screen presentation and the printed output. In addition, report viewing times are drastically reduced when compared to legacy solutions.

The new Preview option is available on all supported devices and does not require any locally installed third-party software on the user's device. Documents can be downloaded and quickly navigated using the built-in viewer toolbar options.
