How To Exclude the Viewing of Documents With Specific File Extensions in WebAccess.

Resolution

If you want to exclude certain file types from having the View option, complete the following steps:

1.  In Console One highlight the domain that owns Webaccess.
2.  In the panel on the right you will see an object called "GroupWiseWebAccess". Right-click this object and choose "Properties".
3.  You will see a dialog called "Properties of "GroupWiseWebAccess". In the "Application" tab choose "Settings"
4.  You will see a field called "Exclude Files With These Extensions".  Specify the file types in the Exclude Files With These Extensions field. Include only the extension and separate each extension with a comma (for example, doc, xls, ppt). The View option is available for any file types not entered in this field. This setting applies when viewing either library documents or attachments.
