When you view the content of a virtual document in Documentum Administrator, the content opens in an editing application.
If the repository includes XML functionality, you can view both the parent, and descendants in a single, read-only XML file. If there is no content in a virtual document, then Virtual Document Manager (VDM) automatically displays the virtual document structure.
To view the content of a virtual document in read-only mode:
Select the virtual document in Documentum Administrator.
Select File > Open (Read Only).
