View External Files

Whenever the reference starts with the keyword 'File:', the attached file is opened in its target application.

Switch to that application to see the contents of the attached file.

View Embedded Files

Any compatible multimedia file, linked to an element with the special key-word VIEW:, can be viewed apart from the file played in the multimedia window:

EmbeddedMedia_Transcript

Transcription area

bulletblue_3

Embedded preview area

Show preview

Select a line in your data-file with an additional file attached.

Click in the grey preview area BulletBlue_3, that shows the word 'Click...' whenever a valid reference is found.

If a valid link to a compatible external file exists, the contents appears in the preview window BulletBlue_3.

If an "X" appears instead, the specified file cannot be found or not be displayed.

If you right-click in the embedded viewer area, two more options to view the file become available:

Original size - Displays the linked file in an additional viewer window:
EmbeddedViewer_OriginalSize

Open as Observation source - The multimedia file is opened as an Observation source in the Multimedia window, so it can be used for logging observations. It can now be controlled with the Observation Ribbon.
