Understanding Download Security

When downloading files from the EnterpriseOne web client on your browser, the download dialog box shows the Save and Cancel buttons, and possibly the Open button, depending on the type of file being accessed. The Open button is available only when downloading the following types of files:

• UBE, report definition, and report template.

  These files are generated by EnterpriseOne and are on a trusted server.

• Media object files that are attached as a file attachment from the image media object queue.

  You can open these file attachments because the image queue is on a trusted server and an administrator places the files in the image queue. This allows users to view these attachments (such as logs, PDFs, and so forth) in the Media Object Viewer.

Supported browsers have a built-in feature for saving files. If an EnterpriseOne user opens any of the aforementioned files in one of these browsers, the browser automatically saves the file to a "Download" folder. This enables users to open the file from the Download folder on the client machine.
