Maintaining PC Document Classes

Use

In the maintenance of PC documents classes, you can prohibit documents with certain file types (for example, BAT or COM) from being imported and created in the Business Workplace. You can also disallow the execution of certain file types (for example, EXE).

You can specify certain document classes which should be treated as ASCII files. This means that documents that are treated as ASCII files by the frontend (e.g. as for HTM or TXT files), are also imported and exported as ASCII files. This enables users to display files on platforms that do not support the original data format.
