Good morning!

I found this post in the forum (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=672) where Jonathan lines out that there is a documentation within the Essential Viewer. Unfortunately this link isn't available in my installation. Interestingly the linked article works in my installation and the content was really helpful. I'm wondering if there is more documentation and how I can access it?

Thanks and regards,
Thomas

(I'm using version 5.06)

Hi Thomas,

The view manuals were in Version 4 but have been taken out of Version 5, however, you will find them if you look in [YOUR SERVER]/[YOUR REPOSITORY NAME]/report?XML=reportXML.xml&XSL=view_manual/view_manual_catalogue.xsl.

Note that the manual is not optimised for the viewer, nor can we guarantee that some of the views haven’t changed slightly due to meta model/xsl changes, so treat with a little caution.

Note that these do not cover all the views available.

The views in the manual were quite cumbersome to produce and update so we are looking at ways to present the view manual concept in a more maintainable way, it is on the 'to do' list.
