Preview Pages

Preview pages are a mechanism you can use to enable document preview, typically during a publishing process.

To accomplish a preview feature in your iKnowBase application, perform the following:

  1. Declare one or more preview page components for a given information type. Specify all appropriate targets for documents with the given information type and images representing those targets.
  2. Use a Preview portlet to render all the available preview pages for a document with a given information type.
