Opening Documents

When using GlobalSearch Go, documents can be opened in the GlobalSearch Go Document Viewer or in the legacy GlobalSearch Document Viewer. Both viewers offer similar capabilities and over time, the GlobalSearch Go viewer will catch and surpass the existing legacy browser viewer. As of today, there are a small number of document editing functions that can only be performed in the legacy GlobalSearch browser.

1. Annotations - While you can view documents that have annotations in the Go viewer, you cannot add, edit, or remove annotations.

2. Transform - This includes despeckling, deskewing, color dropout, crop white, and crop black.

3. Document Editing - Adding, reordering, deleting, bursting, and replacing pages.

Open in Viewer

To display documents in the GlobalSearch Go Document Viewer, double-click on a record in the Search Results View. You can double-click anywhere on a row in the grid. The document will either open in the same browser tab or in a new browser tab and in the GlobalSearch Go document viewer or the legacy document viewer depending on your User Settings.

To open one or more documents in a single viewer, select the records to view by clicking the check box in the first column of the grid and then click Open Documents in the Actions ( ) menu. 

Alternately, holding down the Shift key while double-clicking on one of the selected rows will open all selected documents. 

Note that double-clicking on an item that is not selected will open only the item that was clicked, not the selected row(s).

Open in Full Viewer

To display documents in the GlobalSearch Legacy Document Viewer, select the record(s) to view by clicking the check box in the first column of the grid and then click Open in full viewer in the Actions ( ) menu. 

If you have disabled Use internal document viewer in User Settings, double clicking will open the document in the legacy document viewer.
