ShieldQ offers an advanced document viewer built-in into the user's' control panel. The document viewer is used to view all document types in ShieldQ (Fax, Email, Upload and Web form). By clicking on a document in the inbox, the content of the document will be displayed in the document viewer.
Below is an image of the document viewer. Each number represents a feature or an option in the document viewer - click on a number and you will automatically scroll down in the page to the area that describes this feature.
