Setting the viewer license
Viewers have many user features and many benefits that increase productivity and save companies money. The FileHold viewers can display image files (jpg, jpeg, png, bmp, gif, tif, tiff), Microsoft Word (docx), and PDF documents in both the Web Client and FDA. The FileHold viewer has 3 levels, level 1, 2 and 3.
A viewer license comes standard with a registered user account. When creating a registered user they will automatically be assigned a level 1 viewer license. This can be changed to a level 2 or 3 viewer, if purchased. Users will get the use of both the PDF/Image viewer (FDA only) and the FileHold viewer when assigned a viewer license. As of FileHold 16.2, the PDF/Image viewer may be disabled by your administrator.

Note: The Brava viewer is an optional FileHold feature that is no longer available. It is retained for existing users only.
