Install IBM File Viewer

To extend IBM Connections to offer users a way to view documents, spreadsheets, and presentations within the Files application, install and set up IBM File Viewer.

Users can view files directly within the Connections Files and Communities applications. Supported Open Document files include word processing documents (.odt), spreadsheets (.ods), and presentations (.odp). Also view the Microsoft equivalents of these file types – Word (.doc and .docx), Excel (.xls and .xlsx), and PowerPoint (.ppt and .pptx), as well as .pdf files. By viewing an uploaded file from within Connections, users can see the file contents without having to download the file. To learn more about the IBM File Viewer, refer to the IBM File Viewer knowledge center.
