DBDOC 11.3 contained the initial release of Hyperview in a Web Browser. This is a web browser based implementation of the most essential features of Hyperview, in a format suitable for use on a touch screen tablet. More and more DBDOC clients have been trying it out, and finding it very useful.
The first version of Hyperview in a Web Browser required user logins in order to access the Hyperview "website". Based on feedback from users, DBDOC 11.4 (the current patched version) and forward have a "no login" mode available. This makes it extremely easy and convenient to use Hyperview in a Browser. If you are in the correct network context, URLs for DBDOC documents will just work.
This gives the seamless ability to include URLS like
http://legolas.gmcl.internal:8000/hyperview?cmd=bmk&toc=dbdoc%3A%2F%2Fchapter%2FSODGCHP%2FL%2FI90demo%2520new%2Fsodg%2FOperators&topic=dbdoc%3A%2F%2Ffile%2FL%2FI90demo%2520new%2Fsodg%2FOperators%2FG20.DR
in emails, documents, notes, etc. and have the links open without additional fuss in whatever web browser is available. Of course, the port serving Hyperview must be open, and these links will only work inside of the intranet where a Hyperview Service is running.
To get a URL to use this way, simply navigate to the desired document in Hyperview in a Web Browser, and copy the URL from the address field.
To run a Hyperview Service in no login mode, check the "No Login Required" option when configuring the service.
Note that to use this feature, you need the Hyperview from at least the most recent patched version of DBDOC 11.4, which you can download from the GMCL website: DBDOC Download (gmcl.com)
If you already have an earlier version of DBDOC 11.4 installed, you can obtain this updated Hyperview functionality by just updating the Hyperview Kit.
