View a File

The portal enables you to view files that are stored in a WebDAV repository, which is a collection of files that are stored on the SAS Content Server.

To view a file:

Navigate to a collection portlet or a navigator portlet that contains a file. Files are identified by the icon.

Note: If your portal does not list the file that you want, then you can use the search tool to find it.
Click the name of the file that you want to view.

If your browser recognizes the file type and can find the associated software on your computer, it uses that software to open the file in the portal's viewer.
From the viewer, you can take the following actions:
- To create a bookmark for the displayed file and place it in your Bookmarks portlet, click Bookmark in the toolbar. For more information, see About Bookmarks.
- To create an e-mail that contains the file's URL address, click E-mail in the toolbar. For more information, see E-mail a Reference to Portal Content.
- To publish the file to a publication channel or a WebDAV repository, click Publish in the viewer toolbar. For more information, see Publish Content.
- If you accessed the content by using the portal's search feature, then to return to the search results, click Search in the banner. To return to the portal page that was displayed most recently, click Portal Page in the banner. (For best results, always use these links instead of the browser's Back button.)
