Working with Multiple-Page Image Documents
If you are working with multiple-page image documents (such as TIF files), the XTRAC Viewer lets you rearrange the document's pages.
Note: The Reorder Pages utility appears only if the work item the document is attached to is in the "Process" state.
IMPORTANT: If an image is checked out by another user, you cannot reorder the pages because any changes you make would be lost once the image is checked in by the other user. To help you know if an image is checked out by another user, and therefore you should not make any changes to it, a check mark is added to the document icon in the Search Documents, Work Item Attachments, or Document/Attachment Summary view.
If you are not using XTRAC Workbench or the XTRAC Viewer to get to the images on a work item (for example, you are deep linking to the item), be aware that you may not see the check marks to know that the image is already checked out and therefore should not or cannot be edited.
Note: When using Documentum as the underlying document storage system, you can reorder the pages of a multi-page image, keeping all annotations in place on each page. When the reordered image is saved, the saved image is in the new page order and its annotations have stayed with their original pages. When you choose to view or save the image outside of the viewer, it is displayed or saved with its annotations on the original (though reordered) pages.
To rearrange pages:
|
1.
|
Open a multiple-page image document in the XTRAC Viewer. |
The status bar below the document displays how many pages are in the document. Use the right and left arrow buttons to move from page to page.
The Reorder Pages utility appears to the right of the document.
|
3.
|
On the Reorder Pages utility, select a page number. |
|
4.
|
Click Up or Down to move the selected page number to another position. |
To remove annotations you have added to the image documents:
Notes:
- The XTRAC Viewer can be configured to open automatically by your FIMS or XTRAC administrator, if the Open XTRAC Viewer Automatically option has been selected. The XTRAC Viewer opens automatically in XTRAC Workbench when you open a work item, even if the work item has no attachments.
- FIMS does not use this organization option, however, the FIMS administrator does have the ability to configure the XTRAC Viewer to open automatically by other means.
- XTRAC supports Microsoft Internet Explorer and Firefox web browsers. Chrome is supported for external facing environments. If you are using an unsupported browser, Workbench and the XTRAC Viewer may not function as expected. See XTRAC Workbench System Requirements for more information.
- If there are more than 100 attachments associated with the work item, XTRAC Workbench retrieves only the first 100 attachments. Your XTRAC administrator can configure the sort order of the attachments list to display oldest to newest, newest to oldest, or no sort order.
- You can open the XTRAC Viewer manually by clicking the Open Viewer link on the toolbar.
- The XTRAC Viewer remains open until you close it. If you close the work item, the viewer remains open with a blank page when the image it was displaying closes.
- Each time you open an image file from the list of attachments, the XTRAC Viewer refreshes and replaces the previously displayed image with the newly selected image. Opening new attachments does not open additional instances of the viewer, unless the Allow Multiple Windows checkbox is checked on the work item Attachments page.
- When the Allow Multiple Windows checkbox is checked on the work item Attachment page, a new viewer window opens each time you open a document attachment.
- If the XTRAC Viewer is open when you close your XTRAC Workbench session, the viewer is closed automatically by Workbench.
- If the XTRAC Viewer opens a non-image document using its native application, that document remains open until you manually close it. A non-image document will not close automatically when you close the work item or close your XTRAC Workbench session.
