Security Alert when Opening PDF Files from Content Pages

Administrators can select a configuration option that presents an alert to users before opening PDF files. This configuration option enhances security for users when opening PDF files from Content Page tasks, on the Tasks tab in the Career Section, while in an Onboarding process.

If enabled, an alert gets presented to users that they are required to acknowledge before proceeding with opening a PDF file. This alert informs users that when they choose to open a PDF file they are also saving that file in the cache of their local device.

Setting Description Default Value Location
Display confirmation message before storing a cache copy of a PDF or attachment locally on the user’s computer as it may contain sensitive information As certain user actions require that a copy of the related information be temporarily stored on the user’s computer (ex: printing a candidate file, opening attachments, opening a HTML preview, etc.), and since some of this information can be sensitive, this setting determines if a warning message must first be displayed to the user. This message informs the user of the inherent risk and provides the recommendation to delete the information. No (off) Configuration > [General Configuration] Settings
