You can display previews of artifacts on the general details
page of an asset.
Before you begin
To display preview images of artifacts, you must have permission
to modify the asset.
Preview images of artifacts are not supported
on IBM System z servers running Linux.
About this task
Note: You can configure
Rational® Asset Manager to
automatically generate preview images:
- Log in to the web client as a repository administrator.
- Click Applications.
- Click Configuration.
- In the Performance Options section, select Automatically
create featured content on asset submission.
- Click Save.
If this setting is checked, when you submit an asset,
preview images will be automatically created for up to 3 artifacts
that contain the following extensions: .doc, .ppt, .pdf, .odt, .odp,
and .otp.
Not all artifacts will have
a meaningful preview image; you will get the best results from presentations
(for example,
.ppt files) and graphics files.
