With the PIRS release 2.4 users are able to open PDF and picture files attached to PIRS items, e.g. a correspondence or document, directly within their browser without having to download them first.
When there are attachments for a PIRS item visible in a view or when you open any PIRS item that has files attached to it, you will notice that there is an additional icon displayed for picture files and PDFs. The icon looks like an eye and when you hover your courser over it, a small message box will inform you about the option to show the content of this file.
Once you click the icon, the file will open in a new tab allowing you to take a quick look at the file content.
Should the PIRS File Viewer be activated for your PIRS project, files will be opened directly within your PIRS project and several additional features will be offered to you. (Compare with chapter PIRS File Viewer).
