By default, objects that are called from a module link open and occupy an entire BI workspace. The "Viewer" module enables display of objects called from the navigation list through module links that use open module variables. The Viewer module also enables you resize modules.

You can place multiple Viewer modules on a BI workspace page and view reports concurrently. For example, on a BI workspace tab that contains the Viewer module, when you select a module that contains a report, the destination module appears in the Viewer module. You can see the report and the destination module, side by side. In another example, you create a Web Intelligence document and use the Viewer module to display documents selected from links in the main document.

The Viewer module is particularly useful with the Navigation List module. You use the Navigation List module as a table of contents and the Viewer module as the viewing portlet, which saves space.

Access the Viewer module in Edit mode (Module Library > Templates). To add it to a BI workspace, drag Viewer to the BI workspace layout area and resize it as needed.
