The OnBase Integrated Office Viewer requires additional configuration. For detailed information, see the OnBase Integrated Office Viewer chapter in the System Administration module reference guide.
To edit Microsoft Office documents using the OnBase Integrated Office Viewer, the Document Type must be configured in the Rendition / Revision Control Settings dialog box in the Configuration module.
Some of these Document Type settings behave differently in the Integrated Office Viewer than they do in other contexts. In particular, users are not prompted to save or cancel changes in the Integrated Office Viewer; when the user closes the browser window, any changes are automatically saved to OnBase. It is also not possible to create new OnBase documents using the Integrated Office Viewer. See the following explanations for more information on each setting.
