Viewer Display
Content created or stored in PeopleSoft Content Management can be viewed from a variety of feature areas in the PeopleSoft Interaction hub. For example, you can view content when selecting an article in the News Publication feature, when clicking a search results content link, or when selecting preview in any of the Content Management features.
The content is rendered in a viewer page. The viewer pages can be configured to show or hide the source, modified date, or an associated image based upon the feature type settings. Because HTML content often comes with its own images and summary, an additional flag also exists to show or hide content information for HTML type content. This flag setting overrides the settings for the source, modified dates, summary, and images when the content is HTML. This setting also enables the administrator to show the summary, source, image, or modified date on file or URL content, but hide it on HTML content.
